Ticking time bomb inside the nose: A case of juvenile nasopharyngeal angio fibroma

Abstract

Background: Juvenile Nasopharyngeal Angiofibroma (JNA) is a rare, highly vascular, and histologically benign tumor primarily affecting adolescent males. It originates in the nasopharynx, often presenting with nasal obstruction and epistaxis, and exhibits significant local invasiveness, potentially extending into adjacent sinuses and the skull base. Diagnosis is usually established through imaging techniques like MRI and CT scan, with surgical resection being the primary therapeutic intervention We report a case presentation of JNA in 18 year old male.
