Juvenile Angiofibroma is a rare pathology, with high associated morbidity.
A 14-year-old male was referred to the otolaryngology consultation due to left nasal obstruction, snoring and epistaxis with 6 months of evolution. The anterior rhinoscopy showed the presence of an expansive formation occupying the entire left nasal cavity. In the examination of the oropharynx, a lobulated mass could be observed, bulging the left soft palate. Contrast-enhanced Computed Tomography of the Peri-Nasal Sinus confirmed the previous findings. Angioembolization of the left external carotid artery was performed with subsequent surgical excision. Histopathology confirmed that it was a juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA).
There were no complications after surgery. At 6 months of follow-up the patient was asymptomatic and without evidence of recurrence.
The clinical suspicion of this pathology is essential, allowing a timely diagnosis, with a consequent reduction in associated comorbidities.
