Inferior turbinate angiofibroma: an atypical presentation [correction of preservation]

Angiofibromas are nasopharyngeal tumours mostly seen in adolescent males. They usually present with nasal obstruction and epistaxis. They account for less than 0.5% of all head and neck tumours. Extranasopharyngeal angiofibromas although rare, have been reported (Ali et al., 1982). The most common extranasopharyngeal site is the maxillary sinus. We report a case of extranasopharyngeal angiofibroma arising from the inferior turbinate which had an unusual clinical presentation.
