Overview

Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) is a benign vascular neoplasm of the nasal cavity and nasopharynx that classically presents in adolescent boys.

Pathophysiology

Relevant Anatomy

JNA's typically originate in the region of the sphenopalatine artery (SPA) in the posterior nasal cavity/nasopharynx. From there, they can extend into the paranasal sinuses, pterygopalatine fossa (PPF), infratemporal fossa (ITF), orbit, or cranial vault.

Disease Etiology

Epidemiology

Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma has been reported to be the most common benign neoplasm of the nasopharynx in young males. It accounts for 0.05% to 0.5% of all head and neck tumors, with a reported incidence of 1 in 5,000 to 1 in 60,000 in the US annually.[1][2][3] It classically presents in adolescent males, with an typical presentation age between 13 and 22 years old.

Genetics

There is no identified definitive genetic locus that predisposes patients to JNA's. However, there have been a number of studies looking at the various genetic components that could influence their formation.[4] Due to fact that JNA's classically form in adolescent males, there have been several studies focused on the possible hormonal influence on their formation and growth. JNA's tend to have an abundance of progesterone and estradiol, but a relatively lower concentration of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone.[5][6] Supplemental testosterone was trialed in JNA patients, but both tumor growth[7] and tumor recurrence[8] have been documented.

[Text about imaging choices]

There are several classification systems that have been proposed for JNAs based on imaging findings.
