Nasal septal angiofibroma in pregnancy

Ekstranazofarengeal anjiofibroma (ENA) nazofarenks dışında yerleşmiş fibröz nodüller için kullanılan bir terimdir. Anjiofibromlar nazofarenks dışında nadir görülürler. Nazal septum ise oldukça nadir yerleşim yerlerinden biridir. Literatürde günümüze kadar 12 nazal septum kaynaklı anjiofibroma olgusu bildirilmiştir. Fakat literatürde gebelik esnasında görülen nazal septum anjiofibroması henüz mevcut değildir. Çalışmamızda nazal septum kaynaklı 26 yaşında gebe anjiofibroma olgusu literatür verileri eşliğinde sunuldu.

Gebelikte nazal septal anjiofibroma

Extra nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (ENA) is a term used for fibrous nodules that are located outside the nasopharynx. Location of angiofibromas outside the nasopharynx is rare. In addition, septum is an extremely rare area for involvement. While 11 nasal septum-originated cases have been reported until today in the literature, no septal angiofibromas during pregnancy have been reported yet. We are presenting a nasal septum-originated angiofibroma case in a 26-year old pregnant woman, together with literature data.
