Surgery to remove the tumor using a Weber-Ferguson incision

Angiofibroma is a benign tumor that grows in the nasal cavity. This type of tumor almost always develops in teenage boys.

nasty!

Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) is a benign vascular tumor that appears in the nasal cavity. Although it is non-malignant (not cancerous), it can expand quickly and extensively. JNA can spread into a variety of compartments in the head — including the sinuses, the orbit (where the eye is located), and the brain — which can make it very difficult to treat.

JNA generally affects adolescent boys; very infrequently it presents in younger children or post-adolescent males; it is rarely, if ever, seen in a female.
Typically, once patients with JNA reach their early 20s, the disease mysteriously begins to resolve. Rarely, in some patients, the disease will continue into their 30s.
Surgery is the principal treatment. In cases where the entire tumor cannot be surgically removed, patients may receive medications to minimize tumor growth until the disease resolves in early adulthood.
JNA is extremely rare, with only about 50 new cases per year in the U.S.
