Popis:	Angiofibroma is an uncommon benign tumor seen in adolescent males. Extra nasopharyngeal angiofibroma although rare, has also been reported. Nasal cavity, Nasal septum, Para nasal sinuses are some of the common extra nasopharyngeal sites of origin, and can present a diagnostic challenge. Hence, meticulous evaluation and the possibility of angiofibroma should be always kept in mind. We present a rare case of Nasal Septal Angiofibroma in a 13-year-old boy with 1-month history of epistaxis and nasal obstruction and were treated successfully.
