Angiofibroma or juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNF) is a rare vascular benign tumour predominant in male adolescents and pre-adolescents. In spite of several origin sites reported, nasopharynx in the region of the sphenopalatine foramen and pterygopalatine fossa remains most common.1 Nevertheless, sporadic description of extra nasopharyngeal angiofibromas (ENAF) are also rarely evident.2 Literature documents maxillary sinus as the most favourable site for ENAF followed by the ethmoid sinus, nasal cavity, nasal septum, larynx, sphenoid sinus, cheek, conjunctiva, oropharynx, retromolar area and others.3 However, ENAF of mandibular ramus marks rarity and no case has been reported with respect to this anatomic location especially in preschool children yet. Hence, a rare ENAF in a 3-year-old child, principally confined to mandible, with neither sphenopalatine foramen nor nasopharynx involvement presenting with swelling is described.

Radiation therapy has been recognized as a useful modality of treatment in head and neck malignant tumors. However, radiation over 10 Gy may predispose to secondary tumors. Radiation-induced osteosarcoma of the ethmoid sinus is unusual. These tumors may present long after radiation with epistaxis. Computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and biopsy are the modalities of diagnosis. We report a case of radiation-induced osteosarcoma of the ethmoid sinus 9 years after initial exposure. We describe the clinical presentation, the radiological findings, and the management.

AbstractBackground:Extra-nasopharyngeal angiofibroma is a rare but distinct clinical entity, different from juvenile angiofibroma.Methods:This clinical record elucidates the only case of extra-nasopharyngeal angiofibroma arising from the septum in a female child, who presented with epistaxis.Results:The histopathological diagnosis was confirmed by immunohistochemistry, and the case was managed surgically with no recurrence.Conclusion:In a female paediatric patient presenting with epistaxis, extra-nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (of the inferior turbinate) is a rare albeit important differential diagnosis, as it challenges the hormonal theory of angiofibroma aetiopathogenesis.

We present a rare case of a huge aggressive ossifying fibroma of the maxilla in a 21-year-old female patient with involvement of the maxillary antrum, nasal cavity, orbit and the ethmoid sinus with a unique radiologic appearance for documentation.
