Abstract

Juvenile angiofibroma is a rare but characteristic disorder arising in the depth of one nasal cavity. In historic times and in less developed societies, it has been more frequent than in affluent societies. As in other rare or extinct diseases, like plague, a historical approach may assist modern research of this model disease which not only poses formidable therapeutic challenges but also promises better understanding of tissue dynamics and morphogenesis. Probably, care of juvenile angiofibroma always has been a matter of practitioners, as written Hippocratic and Salernitan records reflect wise understanding and dexterous therapy even in remote times. Pioneers of treatment of juvenile angiofibroma like Louis-François Manne (1689–1755) or Karl Otto Weber (1827–1877) provide examples not only of outstanding professional qualification but also of humane devotion.
