Abstract
Angiofibroma arising from portions other than the nasopharynx is very rare, but recently there have been several reports of this kind of tumor. A very rare case of angiofibroma arising from the middle turbinate in a 15-year-old female who complained of severe epistaxis is reported. A gray-white mass with a smooth surface which originated from the middle turbinate occupied the posterior part of the right nasal cavity and nasopharynx. Computed tomography showed no tumor extension into the other portion. The tumor was removed by transantral approach under local anesthesia. There has been no recurence for 11 months postoperatively.
