Abstract

Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibromas are benign but locally aggressive tumors of nasopharynx seen exclusively in adolescent males. Angiofibromas arising in sites other than nasopharynx is very rare. Maxilla is the most frequent site of origin. Extra nasopharyngeal angiofibromas of adult is extremely rare. We present a case of extra nasopharnygeal angiofibroma arising from maxillary sinus in an adult patient which was excised successfully.
