Abstract

Angiofibroma arising from sites other than nasopharynx is rare and termed as Extra nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (ENA). ENAs commonly arise from nasal septum, maxillary sinus, and inferior turbinate. But angiofibroma arising from oropharynx have not been frequently reported. We present here a case of middle-aged male who presented with a large pedunculated oropharyngeal mass attached to palatopharyngeal fold. Endoscopic radiofrequency assisted transoral excision of mass was done. Histopathological features were consistent with angiofibroma arising from oropharynx. Patient recovered well with no evidence of recurrence till 18 months of follow up. In this report, we have tried to emphasize the diagnostic workup for oropharyngeal mass. This report also provides an insight into the clinical and pathological behavior of extra nasopharyngeal angiofibroma.
