Multidetector Computed Tomography Evaluation of Juvenile Nasopharyngeal Angiofibroma
ABSTRACT Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma is relatively uncommon accounting for 0.5% of all head and neck tumors occurring exclusively in adolescent males. It is a microscopically benign, yet locally aggressive tumor with high rates of recurrence and results in severe morbidity. Diagnosis requires high index of suspicion as it mimics other sinonasal conditions, like sinonasal polyp, neurofibroma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, etc. A case of 14-year-old boy with history of swelling in the right cheek, bilateral nasal obstruction, epistaxis, and watering from right eye referred for multidetector computed tomography is reported in this study.
