Introduction: Nasopharyngeal angiofibroma has usual characters regarding its origin, histopathology, vascular feeding and clinical presentation. In this study we have presented some cases of nasopharyngeal angiofibroma with unusual characters. Methods: A case series study that was conducted on patients with angiofibroma presented to otolaryngology department of Cairo University, between 2010 and 2020. Searching for unusual presentation. Results: Thirteen male patients with mean age 12.5 years had shown unusual character. Seven cases showed unusual vascular feeding pattern and six cases showed unusual character of anatomical location and extension (3 cases in whom the tumor is entirely medially located to sphenopalatine foramen and another 3 cases in whom the tumor is entirely laterally located to sphenopalatine foramen) Conclusion: Every day and other rhinologists all over the world report cases of nasopharyngeal angiofibroma. But some uncommon cases do not fulfill the typical epidemiological, pathological and clinical criteria and that is what was presented in this study. This study had highlighted 13 cases of angiofibroma with atypical characters regarding vascular feeding and locoregoinal extension.

Background Angiofibromas in the head and neck region usually arise in the nasopharynx, but may also occur elsewhere. This study aims at evaluating the incidence and clinical features of extranasopharyngeal angiofibroma (ENA). Material and Methods Systematic review of the literature (Medline® and Google™) up to 31 December 2015. Results 174 cases of ENA were retrieved from a total of 170 publications. In contrast to former publications and previous understanding, the nasal septum was by far the most common site of the disease. Four patients had a congenital lesion, the oldest patient was 87 years old (mean: 28.7 years; median: 23 years). Male gender was predominantly affected, but the sex ratio was more balanced (2.13:1) than in previous reports in the literature until 12/2015. The majority of patients presented with nasal obstruction, either in combination with epistaxis (25.8%) or other symptoms (12.6%). Symptoms had developed within 13.1 months on average (median: 4 months). Brisk bleeding resulted in 11 of 43 biopsy procedures. Surgical resection as first‐line therapy was performed in 170 patients. A tumour regrowth within 12 months was registered in four patients. Conclusion The increasing awareness of ENA and the willingness to publish case reports—not only in Medline‐listed journals—resulted in a significant increase of published case reports lately. Although extremely rare, ENAs have to be taken into account in the differential diagnosis of unclear masses, particularly in adult patients presenting with a rapidly developing nasal obstruction resulting from a nasal septum tumour. Female gender or normal vascularity does not exclude the diagnosis. Transnasal resection is sufficient in most cases, and recurrences are rare. Pathologists as well as clinicians should consider ENA in their differential diagnosis of any mass of the upper airway.
