| Summary: | Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) is a rare vascular tumour which is benign but locally aggressive and occurs invariably in
young and adolescent males. It seldom involves the oral cavity but has the tendency to invade the adjacent structures. Its characteristic
features include slow progression, aggressive growth & an increased rate of persistence and recurrence due to its location in inaccessible
areas. In literature, very few cases of JNA have been reported with extension into the oral cavity. Here, a case of JNA with extension into
the oral cavity has been discussed who reported to our institute. |
