Abstract
During a nine year period fourteen patients with large recurrent angiofibromas were operated. The commonest mode of spread was laterally into the pterygopalatine and infratemporal fossae. A transmaxillary approach was used in clearing the tumour completely from these regions. This versatile approach also enabled removal of small intracranial extradural extensions from below. Unrecognized intracranial and extranasopharyngeal tumour was thought to be the most significant cause of recurrence. Computerized tomography was routinely used to assess these cases in order to detect extranasopharyngeal extensions and decide on the surgical approach. Recurrent tumours were found to be no more biologically active than primary virgin tumours.
