Nasopharyngeal angiofibroma occur most frequently in young males and are clinically regarded as malignant tumors because of their vigorous by expanding growth, their to bleed tendency and their high rate of recurrence.In this paper, we report 3 cases of nasopharyngeal angiofibroma treated during the past 11 years in Kitasato University Hospital.One patient had a postoperative recurrence at a site different from that of the original tumor. Such a case has rately been reported.In this case, we removed the tumor by a transoral approach.It is concluded that for medium-sized tumors with only slight adhesions this transoral approach is effective.To control bleeding after the resection, the wound was covered with a piece of fastia lata.Since this method is relatively simple and satisfactory, it can be recommended.
