Diagnosis

A history of frequent and heavy nosebleeds in a young male is highly suspicious.

Visualisation is by either anterior rhinoscopy or naso- pharygoscopy. A biopsy with histology confirms the diagnosis.

Plain lateral radiographs show a mass extending from the posterior nose into the postnasal space. CT, or preferably MRI, will demonstrate the extent of tumour spread.

Angiography permits embolisation of the tumour.
