Bilateral, independent juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma: case report

“…4,5 Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibromas are composed of a rich, irregular, vascular network, completely devoid of any muscular layer. Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma may be misdiagnosed initially, especially in cases of bilateral juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma; the current case is only the third reported case of bilateral juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma in the literature.…”

“…(Written informed consent was obtained from the patient for publication of this case report and any accompanying images.) It is the first reported case with clinical challenges and, to our knowledge, is the most extensive case of bilateral juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma described in the English literature, 4 and only the third case reported in the last 10 years 5 …”

Bilateral synchronous juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibromas: a rare entity

“…Risk of recurrence with endoscopic management is commonly cited as <10%; however, several series report no recurrence following endoscopic resection. 4,[6][7][8][9][10] True bilateral JNAs are extremely rare and to our knowledge we present only the fifth case reported worldwide. [6][7][8][9][10]…”
