Abstract

Angiofibromas AFs originate predominantly in the nasopharynx and posterior nasal cavity. The incidence of these lesions is less than 0.5% among all neoplasms of head and neck. They originate outside the nasopharynx rarely and can therefore be misdiagnosed. The nasal septum is an extremely rare site. Only four cases of extranasopharyngeal angiofibromas arising in the nasal septum have been reported so far. We report here a case of a vascular mass arising from the nasal septum in a 19-year-old boy which was extirpated by submucousal resection endonasally. Histopathology confirmed it to be a case of angiofibroma.

Özet

Anjiyofibromlar AF çoğunlukla nazofarenks ve pos- terior nazal kaviteden orijin alırlar. Baş ve boy- nun tüm neoplazmları içinde bu lezyonların oranı %0.5’ten daha azdır. Anjiyofibromlar nazofarenks dışında nadirdirler ve bu nedenle yanlış tanı kona- bilmektedir. Nazal septum oldukça nadir bir bölgedir. Nazal septumdan kaynaklanan ekstra nazofarenge- al anjiyofibrom şimdiye kadar sadece dört olguda bildirilmiştir. Bu yazıda 19 yaşındaki erkek hastada, nazal septumdan kaynaklanan ve endonazal sub- mukozal rezeksiyon ile çıkarılan, vasküler bir kitle olgusu sunuldu. Bu olgunun histopatolojisi anjiyofib- rom olarak bildirildi
