Özet

Angiofibromas are the most frequently encountered histologically benign but potentially locally destructive vascular tumors that generally originate from the posterior lateral wall of the nasopharynx. These neoplasms are typically found in adolescent males and rarely seen after 25 years of age.1 Angiofibromas located in extranasopharyngeal sites are uncommon, and sporadically reported in the literature. In this article, we present a very rare case, the fourth case in the literature, of an angiofibroma arising from the middle turbinate in a 13 year-old male who presented with recurrent epistaxis and nasal blockage.2---4 The clinical presentation, endoscopic examination, radiological findings, histopathologic evaluation and management of this pathology are discussed.
