Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) is a benign vascular tumor that appears in the nasal cavity. Although nonmalignant, it can expand quickly and extensively, including the sinuses, the orbit, and the brain, making it very difficult to treat. JNA generally affects the pubescent population; once patients enter adulthood, the disease strangely begins to settle down. Surgery is the principal mode of treatment.
