Reference is made to five cases appearing as expansive lesions in the head and neck. In all cases angiography allowed a precise diagnosis of the nature and extent of the lesion. Biopsy which could have been hazardous was thus unnecessary. Moreover, therapeutic embolization in a case of juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma prevented massive bleeding during surgery.
