Abstract
- Angiofibromas arise from soft tissue, but occur rarely in the nasal cavity. Of these, only six cases have risen from inferior turbinate. Six such cases have been reported previously in English literature and only 1 case in Korea. We present an atypical case of an angiofibroma arising from the inferior turbinate in a 57-year-old woman. The mass was removed with endoscopic approach without massive bleeding.
