Abstract
After a short summary of the aetiopathogenesis, the routes of extensio n and the diagnostic features of nasopharyngeal angiofibroma, the impo rtance of early diagnosis and careful surgical planning is underlined. In particular the extension and topographic localization allows the c hoice of the best approach to optimize surgical radicality-the prime c oncern in the treatment of nasopharyngeal angiofibroma. Different surg ical approaches are proposed for the tumor removal according to our ex perience in 17 patients.
