LASER IN A RARE CASE OF NASOPHARYNGEAL NEUROFIBROMA



I want to describe an interesting case of nasopharyngeal neurofibroma sent to me (at last). This is a very rare benign tumor of the nasopharynx which I operated last week only. She is a young female aged 23 years complaining right nasal obstruction. Biopsy showed a benign tumor named neurofibroma.




I decided to resect the tumor by lateral rhinotomy approach, assisted by carbondioxide laser. A carbodioxide laser tell us: what you get is what you see,I decide to use it. Please enjoy how the case teach us in these pictures.
