Angiofibroma arising from sites other than nasopharynx is rare and termed as Extra nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (ENA). ENAs commonly arise from nasal septum, maxillary sinus, and inferior turbinate. But angiofibroma arising from oropharynx have not been frequently reported. We present here a case of middle-aged male who presented with a large pedunculated oropharyngeal mass attached to palatopharyngeal fold. Endoscopic radiofrequency assisted transoral excision of mass was done. Histopathological features were consistent with angiofibroma arising from oropharynx. Patient recovered well with no evidence of recurrence till 18 months of follow up. In this report, we have tried to emphasize the diagnostic workup for oropharyngeal mass. This report also provides an insight into the clinical and pathological behavior of extra nasopharyngeal angiofibroma.

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a rare multisystemic neurocutaneous syndrome with a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations. We present a case of a 14-year-old adolescent female who presented with a history of facial angiofibromas since the age of 8 months. Physical examination was remarkable for multiple angiofibromas on the face, and other multiple cutaneous manifestations of TSC.

It usually presents with symptoms resembling those of typical nasopharyngeal angiofibroma, but it arises from a site other than the site of origin of typical nasopharyngeal angiofibroma. A 20-year-old male presented with complaints of left-sided nasal obstruction and epistaxis for 10 days.

Nasal and paranasal sinus masses can arise from a wide range of conditions, both benign and malignant, as well as congenital or acquired. Diagnosing these masses is often challenging, requiring a combination of nasal endoscopy, imaging studies, and histopathological analysis. Initial imaging frequently involves computed tomography or cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to evaluate the bony anatomy of the nasal cavity and surrounding sinuses, while magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is typically used for detailed assessment of soft tissues and to aid in differential diagnosis when the findings are inconclusive.
