Angiofibrome nasopharyngien. La tumeur dite encore fibrome juvénile nasopharyngé, adhère à l'apophyse basilaire. Il comprend de nombreux capillaires souvent dilatés, dispersés dans un stroma lâche ou fibreux, riche en fibroblastes et volontiers œdémateux. [...] L'angiofibrome ne se voit guère que chez le garçon entre 10 et 20 ans. 2, record 1, French, - angiofibrome%20nasopharyngien

Le fibrome, ou angiofibrome naso-pharyngien est une tumeur richement vascularisée, histologiquement bénigne, prenant naissance au niveau de la cavité nasale postérieure des adolescents de sexe mâle : c'est un fibrome saignant de la puberté masculine. Il s'agit, histologiquement, d'une tumeur constituée de vaisseaux sous-tendus par un stroma conjonctif. C'est la présence de ce double contingent qui a fait suggérer à Frieberg le terme d'angiofibrome. 3, record 1, French, - angiofibrome%20nasopharyngien
