Abstract

<p>Angiofibroma is a benign tumor and mostly occurs in the nasopharynx among the otorhinolaryngological region. The tumor has a predilection for adolescent boys. In addition, angiofibromas are highly vascular tumors and surgery for these tumors is associated with a massive risk of hemorrhage.</p><p>A 61-year-old male patient presented to us with the chief complaint of epistaxis from the left nostril, and was diagnosed as having an extremely rare type of angiofibroma arising from the nasal septum. The CT and MRI imaging showed an enhancing mass in the nasal septum, with no evidence of infiltration of the surrounding tissues. The tumor was fully resected endoscopically after preoperative vascular embolization.</p><p>In this report, we discuss the differences in the clinical features between angiofibroma of the nasal cavity and angiofibroma of the nasal septum, and the significance of preoperative embolization of angiofibromas.</p>
