juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (jna) is a rare, benign and locally invasive tumor. massive bleeding because of vascularity of tumor and postoperative recurrence are potential problems of management. endonasal approach reduces the rate of postoperative recurrence, intraoperative bleeding, and complications of surgery, time of operation and duration of hospitalization. in this article, we r...

angiofibromas are the most common benign tumors of the nasopharynx, intracranial extension has been reported in approximately 20-25% of cases. intracranial extension may be difficult to treat because of poor exposure that may lead to recurrence. a 16-year-old male patient presented with a 6-month history of nasal obstruction, intermittent epistaxis, right superior orbital fissure syndrome, and ...

Introduction: In the surgical management of juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibromas the possibility of recurrences and residual tumours is always there. This study was undertaken to predict the prognostic factors determining recurrence of juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma and to find out the usual sites

Pediatric nasopharyngeal tumors are rare, and few clinicians possess more than anecdotal experience. The differential diagnosis includes a diverse group of benign and malignant tumors, but can be narrowed further based on the clinical and radiographic appearance of the mass. Nasopharyngeal angiofibroma has such characteristic angiographic and CT imaging that many authors suggest biopsy is not e...

This is a rare tumor, pathoanatomical characterized as benign vascular tumor with frequent localization in pterygopalatine fossa in adolescent males.
