Abstract

A rare and locally aggressive vascular tumor, juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) mostly affects male teenagers. This paper describes a 14-year-old male patient who presented with lethargy and recurrent nasal bleeding, which are symptoms of JNA. CT and MRI scans confirmed a vascular mass with a significant local invasion originating from the sphenopalatine foramen. After a CT angiography, which revealed the tumor's large blood supply and helped with efficient excision, a focused surgical strategy was designed. Histopathology verified the benign nature of the tumor, and the operation was successful and the patient had a smooth recovery. This case adds to the little literature on JNA. It highlights the need for healthcare professionals to be aware of the requirement of early identification and careful presurgical preparation in managing the illness.
