A RARE CASE OF EXTRANASOPHARYNGEAL ANGIOFIBROMA IN AN ELDERLY FEMALE - A CASE REPORT
Abstract
Abstract : ABSTRACT Nasopharyngeal angiofibroma is a
benign but potentially invasive vascular tumour
characteristically occurring in adolescent males. Presentation
beyond the usual age group (1,2 )and in the female gender
(3,4 )are rare. It rarely originates in sites beyond the
nasopharynx. Here we present an unusual case of
angiofibroma occurring in a 55 year old female, with its origin
from the nasal cavity, who was treated by excision of the
mass by lateral rhinotomy approach. Keyword : Elderly
female, extranasopharyngeal origin, angiofibroma, nasal
cavity
