Angiofibromas (AFs) originate predominantly in the nasopharynx and posterior nasal cavity. The incidence of these lesions is less than 0.5% among all neoplasms of head and neck. They originate outside the nasopharynx rarely and can therefore be misdiagnosed. The nasal septum is an extremely rare site. Only four cases of extranasopharyngeal angiofibromas arising in the nasal septum have been reported so far. We report here a case of a vascular mass arising from the nasal septum in a 19-year-old boy which was extirpated by submucousal resection endonasally. Histopathology confirmed it to be a case of angiofibroma.
血管纤维瘤（AFs）主要起源于鼻咽部和后鼻腔。在头颈部所有肿瘤中，这些病变的发病率低于0.5%。它们很少起源于鼻咽部以外的部位，因此可能会被误诊。鼻中隔是一个极其罕见的发病部位。迄今为止，仅报道了4例起源于鼻中隔的鼻咽外血管纤维瘤病例。我们在此报告1例19岁男孩鼻中隔出现的血管性肿物，经鼻内黏膜下切除术将其切除。组织病理学证实为血管纤维瘤病例。
