“…The blood supply is derived from the sphenopalatine artery [218]. Occasionally the mass extends into the sinus [219], and rare extranasopharyngeal cases have been reported in the ethmoid and maxillary sinuses [220][221][222][223][224][225]. Nasopharyngeal angiofibroma is 25 times more frequent in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis and may be associated with APC and beta-catenin mutations [226][227][228][229][230][231][232][233][234].…”

Fibroblastic and myofibroblastic tumors in children and adolescents are a relatively common group of soft tissue proliferations that range from reactive to hamartomatous to neoplastic, with a full spectrum of benign, intermediate, and malignant neoplasms. These lesions are diagnostically challenging because of morphologic and immunohistochemical overlap, despite significant clinical, genetic, and prognostic differences. The fibromatoses are a major subgroup, and all types of fibromatoses can occur in the 1st 2 decades of life. Intermediate and malignant fibroblastic-myofibroblastic tumors are an important group that includes variants of fibrosarcoma and other tumors with recurrent cytogenetic or molecular genetic abnormalities and low metastatic potential. Pathologic examination is enhanced by adjunct techniques, such as immunohistochemistry, cytogenetics, and molecular genetics, although morphology provides the ultimate criteria for a specific diagnosis. This article reviews the clinicopathologic features of fibroblastic and myofibroblastic tumors with an emphasis on the unique aspects of these neoplasms in children and adolescents, the use of diagnostic adjuncts, and differential diagnoses.

“…The first such reported case presented with advanced proptosis, diplopia, epiphora, and no nasal symptoms. 4 Ganesh and colleagues 5 described a patient who presented with orbital apex syndrome. They suggested that a high level of suspicion be maintained while treating an adolescent male with chronic nasal obstruction, epistaxis, and a nasal mass.…”

“…Other sites of origin have been described, including the pterygopalatine fossa, the nasopharynx at the base of the sphenoid bone, the sphenoid sinus, paranasal region, and the lacrimal sac [5][6][7]. The tumor grows in the submucosal plane, spreading medially into the nasal cavity and nasopharynx [8,9].…”
