| Popis: | Objective: To report two cases of extranasopharyngeal angiofibroma, highlighting the diagnostic challenges involved. Methods: Design: Case Report Setting: Tertiary Teaching Hospital and Medical School Patients: Two (2) Results: A 13-year-old boy who presented with epistaxis and a vascular mass on the posterior nasal septum that enhanced on contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT), and a 3-year-old boy who presented with dysphagia and mild respiratory difficulty, with a large naso-oropharyngeal mass arising from the soft palate on physical and x-ray examination that could not be corroborated because stridor developed during sedation for CECT, both underwent endoscopic tumor excision. Conclusion: As illustrated in these cases, atypical presentations of extranasopharyngeal angiofibromas can pose a considerable diagnostic and surgical challenge for clinicians. Key words: angiofibroma: classification; diagnosis; diagnostic imaging; extranasopharyngeal |
