The earliest known documentation of nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (NA) dates to Hippocrates in the fifth century B.C. Commonly referred to as juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA), it is also known as juvenile angiofibroma (JAF), or fibromatous or angiofibromatous hamartoma of the nasal cavity.
Q. Which is a genetic syndrome associated with multiple angiofibromas?
Q. How is nasopharyngeal angiofibroma diagnosed?
The endoscope can be inserted into your nose. To confirm a diagnosis of nasopharyngeal angiofibroma, your doctor will order a CT scan or MRI. These scans help doctors determine the exact location of the tumor and see how far it has spread.M
Q. How do you get Angiofibroma?
What causes angiofibromas? Angiofibromas are caused by a local overgrowth of collagen, fibroblasts, and blood vessels. In tuberous sclerosis, mutations are present in tuberous sclerosis complex 1 (TSC1), which encodes the protein hamartin, and tuberous sclerosis complex 2 (TSC2) which encodes the protein tuberin.

Q. What causes Angiofibroma nose?
Introduction. Complete nasopharyngeal stenosis (NPS) is a very rare condition that is characterized by the obstruction of the nasopharynx by submucosal fibrotic tissue from the soft palate and posterior pharynx [1].
Q. What is a facial Angiofibroma?
An angiofibroma is a firm, flesh-coloured dome-shaped papule less than 5 mm in diameter. Small capillaries may be visible on the surface of the lesion. Facial angiomas associated with a genetic syndrome are commonly found in clusters in the butterfly region of the face.
Q. Who was the first person to have angiofibroma?
Multiple angiofibromas can be seen in genetic syndromes such as neurofibromatosis 2, Birt-Hogg-Dubé, multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1), and tuberous sclerosis (TS is associated with multiple angiofibromas termed adenoma sebaceum on the central face at puberty)
Q. What kind of tumor is on the nose?
Accessed August 10th, 2021. Common benign fibrohistiocytic tumor, usually on the face of middle aged persons and often on the nose Some have postulated this lesion to be a hamartoma composed of perifollicular or interfollicular connective tissue and a hair follicular epithelial component ( J Cutan Pathol 2009;36:943 )
