nasopharyngeal angiofibroma is a relatively uncommon vascular tumor affecting adolescent males and it characteristically originates in the posterior lateral wall of the nasopharynx. primary extra-nasopharyngeal angiofibroma is very rare. here, i present a case of angiofibroma of the parapharyngeal space in a 53-year-old woman with ct and sonographic findings.

INTRODUCTION Nasopharyngeal angiofibroma presents with symptoms of nasal obstruction and epistaxis. The treatment of choice is embolization followed by surgery. CASE PRESENTATION A 52-year-old man underwent surgery for nasopharyngeal angiofibroma after adjuvant radiofrequency-induced thermotherapy. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first case of angiofibroma with clinical fol...

Angiofibroma which is rare benign tumor found in the nasal cavity often called juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma because it occurs mainly posterior lateral wall of nasopharynx adolescent males. It known that outpatient biopsy contraindicated due to its hypervascularity has potential for massive bleeding. difficult recognize advance when observed as a form originating outside nasopharynx. We ...

Tuberous sclerosis or tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant inherited disease characterized by the triad epilepsy, hamartomas (angiofibroma) and reduced intellectual capacity. Phenotype can vary considerably. Almost all patients with TSC have at least one characteristic dermatologic feature. Facial angiofibroma can cause severe disfigurement. It may involve the cheeks, perio...

Nasopharyngeal angiofibroma is a relatively uncommon vascular tumor affecting adolescent males and it characteristically originates in the posterior lateral wall of the nasopharynx. Primary extra-nasopharyngeal angiofibroma is very rare. Here, I present a case of angiofibroma of the parapharyngeal space in a 53-year-old woman with CT and sonographic findings.

BACKGROUND Nasopharyngeal angiofibromas are typically considered benign vascular neoplasms, with descriptions of high-grade sarcomatous change found only in lesions with prior radiotherapy. METHODS AND RESULTS We describe the first reported case of high-grade malignant change in a nasopharyngeal angiofibroma naive to radiation. A 45-year-old man presented with left-sided nasal congestion and ...

Introduction The extranasopharyngeal angiofibroma is histologically similar to juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma, differing from the latter in clinical and epidemiologic characteristics. Objectives We present a case of extranasopharyngeal angiofibroma originating in the inferior turbinate. Resumed Report The patient was a girl, 8 years and 6 months of age, who had constant bilateral nasal ob...

Angiofibroma arising outside the nasopharynx is unusual. The nasal septum is an extremely rare site for an angiofibroma to originate, and, to date, only 3 cases have been reported in the literature. We reported here the fourth case of nasal septal angiofibroma. A 27-year-old male patient with nasal deformity applied to the Erciyes University ENT Department. He also complained of nasal obstructi...

A 38-year-old woman presented to Shinshu University Hospital because her mother had recently been diagnosed as having MEN1. Although no abnormal findings were noted by biochemical screening and imaging studies, physical examination revealed a small angiofibroma on her face (Fig. 1A). Subsequent genetic testing revealed that she carries a heterozygous in-frame deletion (c.511_519del) of the MEN1...

Angiofibroma of extranasopharyngeal origin is very rare. Although it is usually originated from any mucosal structure in the head and neck region, maxilla is the most common involvement site. The nasal septum is an exceptional anatomic site of an angiofibroma. Surgery is the best treatment modality and recurrence is very rare. Nasal septal angiofibromas must be considered in the differential di...
