“…In comparison, ENAs are more frequently seen in the older age group and relatively more common in females. Our patient being a 14-year-old man, is quite an unusual occurrence according to current literature knowledge 3. The common presenting complaint in ENA is unilateral nasal obstruction with epistaxis or other symptoms like nasal discharge and facial swelling.…”

Middle turbinate angiofibroma in an adolescent boy

Bleeding nasal mass in adolescent boys has customarily been attributed to Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma. However, little is known regarding the extranasopharyngeal origin of angiofibroma, as highlighted in this case report of a 15-year-old boy who presented with recurrent epistaxis and nasal obstruction. On constructing a working diagnosis of nasal haemangioma, the patient was taken up for endoscopic excision under general anaesthesia. Intraoperative endoscopic findings and histopathological examination revealed the diagnosis of middle turbinate angiofibroma, which is an extremely rare extranasopharyngeal angiofibroma. Consequently, this represents the third described case of a juvenile angiofibroma arising from the middle turbinate.

“…In this study we had classified the atypically of JNA presentations according to the unilaterality or bilaterality of vascular feeding (7 cases) and according to the location and extension either medial or lateral to sphenopalatine foramen (6 cases). A study by Toplu et al had reported a case of atypical location at the middle turbinate [7] . Another study by Celik et al had reported 4 cases with atypical presentation, one case with atypical symptom which is bulge in cheek and 3 cases with a typical location in palatine tonsils ( one case) and inferior turbinate (2 cases) [8] .…”

Introduction: Nasopharyngeal angiofibroma has usual characters regarding its origin, histopathology, vascular feeding and clinical presentation. In this study we have presented some cases of nasopharyngeal angiofibroma with unusual characters. Methods: A case series study that was conducted on patients with angiofibroma presented to otolaryngology department of Cairo University, between 2010 and 2020. Searching for unusual presentation. Results: Thirteen male patients with mean age 12.5 years had shown unusual character. Seven cases showed unusual vascular feeding pattern and six cases showed unusual character of anatomical location and extension (3 cases in whom the tumor is entirely medially located to sphenopalatine foramen and another 3 cases in whom the tumor is entirely laterally located to sphenopalatine foramen) Conclusion: Every day and other rhinologists all over the world report cases of nasopharyngeal angiofibroma. But some uncommon cases do not fulfill the typical epidemiological, pathological and clinical criteria and that is what was presented in this study. This study had highlighted 13 cases of angiofibroma with atypical characters regarding vascular feeding and locoregoinal extension.
