Angiofibromas (AFs) are benign, potentially local aggressive, and rich vascular neoplasms that originate from posterior lateral wall of the nasopharynx in adolescent males. However, they could be encountered in sites other than nasopharynx. The maxillary sinus is the most common location of extranasopahryngeal AFs. The nasal septum is an extremely rare location, and only 15 cases had been reported in literature. In this present case, an unusual extranasal AF originating from the anterior part of the nasal septum is reported with its clinical, laboratory, and treatment options and theories proposed to explain the origin of extranasopharyngeal AFs are discussed.
血管纤维瘤（AFs）是一种良性、具有潜在局部侵袭性且血管丰富的肿瘤，起源于青春期男性鼻咽部的后外侧壁。然而，它们也可能出现在鼻咽部以外的部位。上颌窦是鼻外血管纤维瘤最常见的发病部位。鼻中隔是极其罕见的发病部位，文献中仅报道过15例。在本病例中，报告了一例起源于鼻中隔前部的罕见鼻外血管纤维瘤，并讨论了其临床、实验室检查情况、治疗方案以及关于鼻外血管纤维瘤起源的理论。
