“…Angiofibroma are rare tumors of the maxillofacial region, accounting for 0.05% of head and neck tumors [ 9 ]. The presence of angiofibroma in the mandible is extremely rare; only a few cases have been published reporting the presence of angiofibroma in the lower jaw ( Table 1 ) [ 4 , 6 , 7 ].…”

“…Although angiofibroma is histologically a benign lesion, it is locally invasive and has a propensity for local extension into adjacent anatomic structures, including the oral cavity [ 3 ]. Few cases have been published reporting angiofibroma with a primary intraoral origin [ 1 , 4 , 5 ], with only three cases of angiofibroma in the mandible published to date [ 4 , 6 , 7 ].…”

Angiofibroma is an uncommon, highly vascular benign lesion that occurs in the head and neck region, typically arising in the nasopharyngeal area, potentially with a locally aggressive course. Angiofibroma with a primary intraoral presentation is extremely rare; few case reports have been published in the literature, with only three cases of angiofibroma in the mandible published to date. In this case, a 37-year-old man presented with swelling at the right mandible and underwent enucleation of the lesion under general anesthesia. After 1-year follow-up, there were no signs of recurrence.

“…Baptista et al reported in 2014 a case of an 8-year-old girl who suffered from bilateral nasal obstruction and recurrent epistaxis, worse on the right side, with hyposmia and snoring due to ENPA inserted in the right inferior turbinate [4]. A rare case of angiofibroma of the mandible in a 16-year-old female patient was reported in 2016 by Khaliq et al [7].…”

Background Extranasopharyngeal angiofibroma (ENPA) has been stratified to nodules consisting of blood vessels and fibrous tissue, which occur outside the nasopharynx. ENPA is histologically similar to nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (NA), differing in clinical and epidemiologic characteristics. Since these differences, ENPA considers as a diagnostic challenge and a painstaking appraisal with a high index of doubt is major in determining the true diagnosis and treatment. Fewer than a hundred cases of “atypical angiofibroma” are represented in the international literature, with only 6 cases having been reported previously about ENPA originating from the nasal septum. Case presentation We submit a summarized literature review with a case of ENPA emerging from the nasal septum in a 6-year-old child. Under general anesthesia and endoscopically, the mass that emerged from the septum was resected. Histopathology examination confirmed the diagnosis of ENPA. No recurrence over 1 year after surgery. Our patient had an age of onset and site of lesion different from most ENPAs, supporting the rareness of this case. Conclusion Our aim is to shed light on a very rare clinical presentation, describe the diagnostic and therapeutic workup, and suggest that ENPA must be regarded as a differential diagnosis with any complaint of nasal occlusion and epistaxis accompanied by a unilateral nasal tumor.

“…Only a few cases have been reported in the maxillofacial complex in females. 7 Angiofibromas are commonly well-circumscribed tumors, localized in the superficial soft tissue and characterized by bland spindle-shaped cells arranged within vessels. The diagnosis of angiofibroma is dependent more on histological confirmation due to its close resemblance with other lesions.…”

A Rare Case of Angiofibroma Mimicking Fibrous Epulis in Posterior Gingival Mucosa

Angiofibromas are highly vascular, locally aggressive but histologically benign tumors. A 40-year-old woman complaint of pedunculated mass in the right gingiva of the posterior region since 7 months earlier. Surgical excisional biopsy under general anesthesia was performed. Histopathological examination showed an angiofibroma. Angiofibromas are localized in the superficial soft tissue and the gingiva could have a similar clinical appearance as an epulis. Definitive diagnosis was determined through histopathological analysis.
