Article Abstract
Background: Frequent beta-catenin mutations have been detected in juvenile angiofibromas, but the tumor pathogenesis remains unknown.
Methods: Metaphase-comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) was used to identify chromosomal aberrations in 29 tumor specimens. Two tumors were investigated using genome DNA microarrays.
Results: Three hundred eleven chromosomal gains and losses were detected by metaphase-CGH. Frequent chromosomal gains were detected at 4q, 6, 12, and X, while frequent chromosomal losses affected regions of chromosomes 8, 16, 17, 22, and Y. Genome DNA microarray analysis in 2 tumors of the series confirmed chromosomal aberrations, detected by metaphase-CGH, and indicated genes such as AURKA (20q13.2) not being recognized by metaphase-CGH.
Conclusion: Metaphase-CGH results confirmed numerous chromosomal aberrations in juvenile angiofibromas. The most frequent aberrations affected sex chromosomes. Further consensus regions of chromosomal aberrations were detected at 4q, 6, 8, 12, 16, 17, and 22. AURKA and MDM2 were identified as interesting novel amplified genes in juvenile angiofibromas.

Objective: The objective of this study was to discuss the characteristics of intracranial extension in patients with juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) and propose and an algorithm for its management.
Methods: A retrospective chart review of all patients with JNA who underwent operations between January 2013 and January 2023 was done, and those cases with intracranial extension categorized as stage IIIb, IVa, and IVb according to the Andrews modification of the Fisch staging classification were included in the study. Data were collected about age at presentation, symptoms, radiological findings, routes of intracranial extension, therapeutic management, and follow-up.

Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) is a rare, locally aggressive, highly vascularized benign tumor classically found in males from 13 to 20 years old. The most common clinical presentations are recurrent epistaxis and nasal congestion. Imaging plays a significant role in differentiating and determining the extension of nasopharyngeal lesions.

Article Synopsis
- The study analyzes 12 cases of juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) in young males treated at a hospital between 2015 and 2020, focusing on the effectiveness of endoscopic plasma resection.
- Preoperative imaging and selective artery embolization were performed, and patients were followed for at least 30 months to monitor outcomes.
- Results showed clear vision, minimal bleeding, quick recovery, and no tumor recurrence, suggesting that this technique is a safe and effective treatment for JNA.

Article Synopsis
- Angiectatic nasal polyps (ANP) are unusual growths in the nose that can be hard to identify and are not real tumors.
- They can look a lot like another type of nose growth called juvenile nasal angiofibroma, which makes it tricky to tell them apart just using imaging tests.
- In a case report, a young adult had nasal blockage and bleeding, and after surgery and testing the tissue, doctors confirmed it was an ANP.
