angiofibroma

The doctor may see the angiofibroma when examining the upper throat.

Older children may develop a characteristic acne-like condition on the face called angiofibroma.

The papular rash is now known as facial angiofibroma.

You will need treatment if the angiofibroma is growing larger, blocking the airways, or causing repeated nosebleeds.

Juvenile angiofibroma is a noncancerous growth of the back of the nose or upper throat.

Juvenile angiofibroma is not very common.

Kenneth Arndt successfully treated facial angiofibroma with an argon laser.

Nasopharyngeal angiofibroma is sometimes treated by surgery.

Patients with nasopharyngeal angiofibroma usually present with one-sided nasal obstruction and recurrent bleeding.

Now known as facial angiofibroma, this papular facial rash, of distinctive butterfly distribution, was first described in English by Pringle.

Intranasal tumors (e.g. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma or nasopharyngeal angiofibroma)

The fibroma cavernosum or angiofibroma, consists of many often dilated vessels, it is a vasoactive tumor occurring almost exclusively in adolescent males.

Abnormal causes of asymmetry included invasion by nasopharyngeal melanoma, angiofibroma, carotid-cavernous fistula with drainage through the emissary veins, and neurofibromatosis.

The neurologist Vogt (1908) established a diagnostic triad of epilepsy, idiocy, and adenoma sebaceum (an obsolete term for facial angiofibroma).

Prior to this, the diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis was largely restricted to severely affected individuals with Vogt's triad of learning disability, seizures and facial angiofibroma.

Nasal tumor; Angiofibroma - juvenile; Benign nasal tumor Juvenile angiofibroma is relatively uncommon.

Head, Neck, and Skullbase Tumors - Includes angiofibroma, desmoid tumors, fibrosarcomas, hemangiomas, lymphomas and lymphatic malformations, and neuroblastoma.

If nasopharyngeal angiofibroma is suspected based on physical exam (a smooth submucosal mass in the posterior nasal cavity), imaging studies such as CT or MRI should be performed.

Nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (also called juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma) is a histologically benign but locally aggressive vascular tumor that grows in the back of the nasal cavity.

The physical manifestations of tuberous sclerosis are due to the formation of hamartia (malformed tissue such as the cortical tubers),hamartomas (benign growths such as facial angiofibroma and subependymal nodules) and, very rarely, cancerous hamartoblastomas.

Thus, diseases such as thyroid cancer, rhabdomyosarcoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma, and Burkitt lymphoma must be considered, as should benign conditions such as nasal angiofibroma, which usually presents with epistaxis in adolescent males, and infections draining into the lymph nodes of the neck.
