Review Case Reports[Primary juvenile nasal angiofibroma in a 38 year-old male (case report)].
Juvenile nasal angiofibroma (JNA) is a benign, fibro-vascular, locally aggressive tumor with invasive growth patterns and high probability of recurrence. JNA present exclusively in adolescent boys between 9 and 19 years of age, total about 0.05% of head and neck tumors. 143 patients with JNA had been treated surgically from 2002 to August 2018 at N. N. ⋯ In this paper we present a very rare case of 38 year-old male with pure primary JNA, accidentally diagnosed on CT and pathologically proven after endoscopic removal. This case confirms the possibility of detecting the JNA in adult men and explains why proper diagnosis of angiofibromas is necessary. The unique case and the literature review are presented.
