Abstract

Angiofibroma of extranasopharyngeal origin is very rare. Although it is usually originated from any mucosal structure in the head and neck region, maxilla is the most common involvement site. The nasal septum is an exceptional anatomic site of an angiofibroma. Surgery is the best treatment modality and recurrence is very rare. Nasal septal angiofibromas must be considered in the differential diagnosis of nasal vascular masses arising from the nasal septum. In this article, we report a 37-yearold male case with nasal septal angiofibroma who underwent surgical resection of the tumor. This is the 16th case in the literature.

Özet

Ekstranazofarengeal yerleşimli anjiyofibrom çok nadir görülmektedir. Genellikle baş ve boyun bölgesindeki herhangi bir mukozal yapıdan köken almasına rağmen, maksilla en sık görülen tutulum bölgesidir. Nazal septum, anjiyofibromun istis- nai bir anatomik bölgesidir. Cerrahi en iyi tedavi seçeneği olup, nüks çok azdır. Nazal septal anji- yofibromlar, nazal septumdan köken alan vasküler kitlelerin ayırıcı tanısında göz önünde bulundu- rulmalıdır. Bu yazıda, nazal septal anjiyofibromu olan ve tümörü cerrahi olarak rezeke edilen 37 yaşında bir erkek olgu sunuldu. Bu, literatürdeki 16. olgudur
