Popis: Angiofibroma is an unique problem faced by the otolaryngologist, due to its recurrence, occurence in a rather inaccessible area and troublesome bleeding during excision. It’s commonly known to arise from nasopharynx in adolescent males but extra nasopharyngeal extensions are not uncommon. Herewith we are presnting an extremely rare case of angiofibroma arising from the nasal septum in an adult male. To the best of our knowledge septal angiofibroma has not been reported in the relevant literature yet. The clinical features and management of this case are discussed in this paper.
