Angiomyolipomas are benign tumors composed of blood vessels, adipose tissue, and smooth muscle. Usually, these lesions are located in the kidney and are found in association with tuberous sclerosis. The current case describes the rare presence of an angiomyolipoma within the nasal vestibule, leading to nasal obstruction. Surgical resection of the lesion was curative, and the patient's nasal congestion improved postoperatively. Consistent with previous findings in the literature, the patient's angiomyolipoma had not recurred at subsequent postoperative visits.
