Angiofibroma Localized in the Sphenoid Sinus
Abstract
Juvenile nasopharyngeal angio-broma is the most common benign tumor of the nasopharynx with complaints of unilateral nasal
obstruction and recurrent nosebleeds in the young male population. Despite being a benign tumor, it can be aggressively
destructive in surrounding tissues and bones by acting locally. (e gold standard treatment method is the surgical excision of the
tumor. (is case report is a case of angio-broma, a 32-year-old asymptomatic male patient with no evidence of clinical signs and
endoscopic examination, which is recognized as a localized vascular mass lesion in the right sphenoid sinus on the cranial MR
imaging. We prepared this case report that may represent an angio-broma localized only within the sphenoid sinus which is very
rare in the literature.
