摘要
Angiofibroma of the head and neck is classically found in the nasopharynx of an adolescent male. We present a rare case where an angiofibroma was diagnosed in the anterior nasal septum of a 51-year-old woman, the eighth nasal septal angiofibroma reported in a female. This case highlights how an angiofibroma in an older woman has a less vascular behaviour than one in an adolescent male, even though radiological enhancement may suggest that the lesion is highly vascularised. Nasal septal angiofibromas can be managed by biopsy and removed by simple endoscopic resection with minimal haemorrhage. Although very rare, extranasopharyngeal angiofibroma/nasal septal angiofibroma should be included in the differential diagnosis when patients of all ages present with nasal obstruction secondary to a nasal mass, with or without epistaxis.
