Quick Summary:

  • Juvenile Nasopharyngeal Angiofibroma (JNA) is an uncommon, benign tumor of the nose that is generally seen in boys. The tumor is locally aggressive and can invade into surrounding structures and cause significant complications
  • There are no clear risk factors identified for the tumor, but it is seen during puberty. It is believed that the cause of Juvenile Nasopharyngeal Angiofibroma is hormonal factors
  • The signs and symptoms associated with Juvenile Nasopharyngeal Angiofibroma include nosebleeds, stuffy nose, and headaches. If the tumor spreads to adjoining regions in the face or mouth, it can cause reduced sense of smell, deafness, or even facial disfigurement
  • Occasionally, Juvenile Angiofibroma can invade into brain tissue and cause neurological signs and symptoms. Also, in some cases, severe bleeding from the tumor can result in anemia with associated symptoms
  • The treatment of Juvenile Nasopharyngeal Angiofibroma may include arterial embolization, radiation therapy, or a complete surgical excision and removal depending on the assessment by the healthcare provider
  • The prognosis of Juvenile Nasopharyngeal Angiofibroma is generally good, if the tumor can be successfully and completely removed. The prognosis may be affected by complications, or if a malignant transformation of JNA takes place (which can occur in rare cases)
