Juvenile nasal angiofibroma is a benign tumor characterized by abundant vascularization and a tendency to hemorrhage. Despite its benign histology, it can present locally expensive growth that usually presents bone remodeling and the mass effect of adjacent stuctures. We present the case of a 15-year-old patient who came to the emergency department of our center for recurrent epistaxis. After physical examination, it was decided to carry out imaging tests (CT an MRI) that reveal the presence of a large hypervascular mass in the right nostril and maxillary sinus. The patient undergoes surgery after embolization of the tumor.

Nasal and paranasal sinus masses can arise from a wide range of conditions, both benign and malignant, as well as congenital or acquired. Diagnosing these masses is often challenging, requiring a combination of nasal endoscopy, imaging studies, and histopathological analysis. Initial imaging frequently involves computed tomography or cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to evaluate the bony anatomy of the nasal cavity and surrounding sinuses, while magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is typically used for detailed assessment of soft tissues and to aid in differential diagnosis when the findings are inconclusive.

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
- - The spindle cell neoplasms encompass three main types: sinonasal tract angiofibroma (STA), glomangiopericytoma (GPC), and biphenotypic sinonasal sarcoma (BSNS), which share similarities in their clinical and biological features.
- - Sinonasal tract angiofibroma (STA) is characterized by a collagen-rich, vascular stroma often linked to hormonal changes.
- - Glomangiopericytoma (GPC) has a distinct appearance with a consistent ovular shape and shows Beta-catenin accumulation, while biphenotypic sinonasal sarcoma (BSNS) displays characteristics resembling neural tissue and co-expresses S100 and smooth muscle markers along with
