The term extranasopharyngeal angiofibroma has been applied to vascular, fibrous nodules occurring outside the nasopharynx. The maxillary sinus is the most common site involved, while the nasal septum represents an extremely rare localization. Computerized tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging are used to determine the tumour site and its extension. Surgical excision of the mass is the ...

Os angiofibromas são os tumores vasculares histologicamente benignos mais frequentemente encontrados, com potencial destrutivo local, geralmente originários da parede lateral posterior da nasofaringe. Essas neoplasias são mais comumente observadas em adolescentes do sexo masculino e raramente são encontradas depois dos 25 anos. Raramente os angiofibromas se situam em locais extranasofaríngeos, ...

introduction: aneurysmal bone cysts (abc) are extremely rare in the head and neck region and even rarer in sinuses.  abc is a benign multicystic mass that is locally-destructive and rapidly expandable. hemorrhagic fluid content (like in this case) and septated appearance are the characteristic feature of abc. established treatment options for abcs include sclerotherapy, embolization, radiothera...

Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) involves difficult anesthetic management because of the risk of massive bleeding, while airway management is rarely a problem in JNA. This report presents an unusual case of JNA causing airway obstruction.

Abstract Background Angiofibroma is a rare, histologically benign but locally aggressive vascular tumour that typically arises within the nasopharynx. in sites other than nasopharynx extremely uncommon. Despite histological similarities, clinical features of this are very much different from typical nasopharyngeal angiofibroma and pose diagnostic challenge, hence emphasizing importance thorough...

Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) is a rare benign tumour affecting mostly adolescent and can be malignant because it’s aggressive, destructive, spread locally often extends to the skull. The exact cause of JNA unknown. originates from pterygopalatine fossa at aperture pterygoid canal. Clinical symptoms include nasal obtruction, epistaxis headaches. diagnosis based on anamnesia, physic...

Aim: This study aimed to find the effect of preoperative tumor embolization and transnasal endoscopic excision of a sphenoid sinus angiofibroma on the postoperative outcome. Case Report: A thirteen year old male presented to the Outpatient ENT Department of a tertiary care centre, with a history of recurrent left-sided spontaneous painless epistaxis since one year. Diagnostic Nasal Endoscopy sh...

Introduction: In recent years, the surgical management of angiofibroma has been greatly influenced by the use of endoscopic techniques. However, large tumors that extend into difficult anatomic sites present major challenges for management by either endoscopy or an open-surgery approach which needs new technique for the complete en block resection.   Materials and Methods: In a prospective obse...
