Angiofibroma is a benign tumor, consisting of fibrous tissue with varying degrees of vascularity, characterized by proliferation of stellate and spindle cells around the blood vessels. It most commonly arises from the nasopharynx, although it may rarely arise in extranasopharyngeal sites.<jats:italic> Case Report<\/jats:italic>. A 46-year-old male presented with left side nasal obstruction and epistaxis for one month. Clinical nasal examination revealed left sided polypoidal mass arising from the vestibular region of the lateral nasal wall.<jats:italic> Results<\/jats:italic>. CT scan and MRI showed highly vascular soft tissue mass occupying the anterior part of the left nostril. Preoperative selective embolization followed by transnasal excision was performed. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnoses of nasal vestibular angiofibroma.<jats:italic> Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. Extranasopharyngeal angiofibroma is a very rare pathology. It should be kept in mind as a differential diagnosis with any unilateral nasal vestibular mass causing nasal obstruction and epistaxis. A biopsy without further investigation can cause life threatening bleeding in the patient.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2016\/3065657","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,11,13]],"date-time":"2016-11-13T16:01:23Z","timestamp":1479052883000},"page":"1-4","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Angiofibroma Originating outside the Nasopharynx: A Management Dilemma"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2016","author":[{"given":"Ashraf Nabeel","family":"Mahmood","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Rhinology Section, Otorhinolaryngology, Head & Neck Surgery (ORL-HNS) Department, Rumailah Hospital, Hamad Medical Corporation, Doha, Qatar"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2146-3998","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Rashid","family":"Sheikh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Otorhinolaryngology, Head & Neck Surgery (ORL-HNS) Department, Rumailah Hospital, Hamad Medical Corporation, Doha, Qatar"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hamad Al","family":"Saey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rhinology Section, Otorhinolaryngology, Head & Neck Surgery (ORL-HNS) Department, Rumailah Hospital, Hamad Medical Corporation, Doha, Qatar"},{"name":"Weill Cornell Medical College, Ar-Rayyan, Qatar"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sarah","family":"Ashkanani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rhinology Section, Otorhinolaryngology, Head & Neck Surgery (ORL-HNS) Department, Rumailah Hospital, Hamad Medical Corporation, Doha, Qatar"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shanmugam","family":"Ganesan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Otorhinolaryngology, Head & Neck Surgery (ORL-HNS) Department, Rumailah Hospital, Hamad Medical Corporation, Doha, Qatar"},{"name":"Weill Cornell Medical College, Ar-Rayyan, Qatar"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1155\/2013\/175326"},{"key":"2","year":"2010"},{"issue":"1","key":"3","first-page":"41","volume":"19","year":"2009","journal-title":"Kulak Burun Bo\u011faz \u0130htisas Dergisi"},{"key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/bf03047916"},{"issue":"2, article 330","key":"5","volume":"20","year":"2016","journal-title":"Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology"},{"key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amjoto.2011.08.009"},{"key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00405-012-2041-4"},{"issue":"12","key":"8","first-page":"2713","volume":"6","year":"2013","journal-title":"International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Pathology"},{"issue":"6","key":"9","first-page":"337","volume":"39","year":"2004","journal-title":"Zhonghua Er Bi Yan Hou Ke Za Zhi"},{"issue":"6","key":"10","first-page":"312","volume":"28","year":"2008","journal-title":"Acta Otorhinolaryngologica Italica"},{"issue":"3","key":"11","first-page":"169","volume":"5","year":"2013","journal-title":"JP Journals"}],"container-title":["Case Reports in Otolaryngology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/criot\/2016\/3065657.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/criot\/2016\/3065657.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/criot\/2016\/3065657.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2016,11,13]],"date-time":"2016-11-13T16:01:24Z","timestamp":1479052884000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/criot\/2016\/3065657\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2016]]},"references-count":11,"alternative-id":["3065657","3065657"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2016\/3065657","relation":{},"ISSN":["2090-6765","2090-6773"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2090-6765","type":"print"},{"value":"2090-6773","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2016]]}}}
