Juvenile angiofibroma originating from the right maxillary sinus was found in a 16-year-old boy, whose chief complaints were the swelling of right side cheek and frequent epistaxis. The patient was admitted on Sept. 3, 1964, and exploratory maxillotomy was done. The diag- nosis was decided with surgical findings and his- tological examination. Radical extirpation of the tumor was performed successfully under general anesthesia with hypo- thermia 2 months later after the first operation. Postoperatively he has been free from above com- plaints. Juvenile angiofibroma in the paranasal sinus is rare and only a few cases have been reported in the literature. The relationship between this case and juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma and its surgical management were discussed. The authors stressed that the treatment of this tumor should be carried out surgically under the careful control of general condition of the patient.
