Abstract
Background: A rare head and neck tumor that makes up about 0.5% of all head and neck neoplasms is the nasopharyngeal angiofibroma. They are benign, non-encapsulated, highly vascular tumors with a high incidence of persistence and recurrence from a histological standpoint, but they are also locally invasive tumors. Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted by the Otolaryngology & Head Neck Surgery division at Bangabandhu Shiekh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, and Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College Hospital in Dhaka. The study was conducted from February through November of 2012. The total sample size for the study was 30. Result: The majority of individuals (54%) who have nasopharyngeal angiofibroma are between the ages of 16 and 20. The middle class people (40%) are more sufferers from nasopharyngeal angiofibroma. People living in rural area (53.33%) are more sufferers from nasopharyngeal angiofibroma. The majority of patients have similar symptoms such epistaxis, nasal blockage, nasal discharge, anemia, and masses in the nasal cavity. Conclusion: It is hypothesized that the affected patients' socioeconomic status and geographic location may have an impact on the biologic behavior of nasopharyngeal angiofibroma.
