Clinical Characteristics of Recurrent Juvenile Nasopharyngeal Angiofibroma (JNA) After Radiation Therapy

Ozan Gökdoğan et al. Indian J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg. 2015 Dec.

Abstract

Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) is a benign vascular tumor occurring in young males. Treatment of JNA is a complex procedure, especially in advanced cases with a high risk of major complications. We report the clinical, radiological and histological specialties of a rare case of recurrent JNA 3 years after radiation therapy in an 18-year-old boy. The patient underwent endoscopy assisted partial midfacial degloving approach. This treatment has been shown to be effective in advanced JNAs with minor morbidity.

Keywords: Midfacial degloving; Radiation therapy; Recurrent juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma.
