Therapeutic modalities include cryotherapy, podophyllotoxin application, electrocoagulation, surgery and laser therapy associated with their own high risk complications sequelae....

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to examine endoglin (CD105) expression on microvessel endothelial cells (ECs) in juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) and its relationship with recurrence. METHODS Immunohistochemistry was performed to detect CD105 expression in a tissue microarray from 70 patients with JNA. Correlation between CD105 expression on microvessel ECs and clinicopatho...

Pelvic tumors are quite common. Of these, angiofibromas very rare. It is causes difficulties in differential diagnosis. But getting the right diagnosis important, given great similarity with other, often malignant tumors. According to literature, average size of does not exceed 12 cm. We present case a patient an unusually large angiofibroma.

BACKGROUND Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibromas (JNAs) are rare benign lesions that express hormonal receptors. This report describes a recurrence of a JNA 20 years after excision associated with exogenous testosterone therapy. METHODS A 36-year-old man developed a sphenoid mass 20 years following resection of a JNA, shortly after initiating exogenous testosterone therapy for symptomatic low...

Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) constitutes less than 0.5% of all head and neck neoplasms. It is a histopathologically benign, yet locally agressive, vascular tumor that occurs most frequently in males from 5 to 25 years. Advances in imaging and treatment techniques are now facilitated more accurate staging of this disease. In this study, we present a case of JNA, to whom pre-operati...
