Recurrent angiofibroma: analysis of risk factors and common sites of recurrence

JNA recurrence is significantly associated with primary tumor size, primary tumor stage and their correlatives of preoperative embolization, perioperative blood transfusion or open surgical approach, but age on presentation and primary tumor size were the only independent predictors of tumor recurrence. Meticulous surgical attention should be paid for pterygoid process in order to decrease residual/recurrence incidence.
