Abstract :
Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma is a benign disease affecting young males with a propensity to invade intracranially and intothe orbit along preformed pathways. Complete surgical excision is the mainstay of management. Patients with multiplerecurrences along with tumour extension into skull base and orbit can be considered for external beam radiation as eitheradjuvant or definitive treatment. Possibility of radiation-induced malignancy has been speculated by many authors, proof ofwhich exists in only two studies so far. This report focuses on radiation-induced leiomyosarcoma in a patient with recurrentjuvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma
