The angiomatous polyp and the angiofibroma: two different lesions

Five cases of angiomatous polyps that were initially interpreted as angiofibromas are presented. Although they are similar to angiofibromas, angiomatous polyps have a distinctly different pattern of growth on computed tomography and a different angiographic appearance. In addition, they are more easily extirpated at surgery than are angiofibromas.
