Extranasopharyngeal angiofibroma of the cheek.

Angiofibromas rarely localize in extranasopharyngeal sites. The most common site for extranasopharyngeal angiofibromas is the maxillary sinus. The ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses, nasal septum, middle and inferior turbinates, conjunctiva, molar and retromolar region, and larynx are other sites where extranasopharyngeal angiofibromas have been reported. Only one case of buccal extranasopharyngeal angiofibroma has been reported to date. We present a case of buccal extranasopharyngeal angiofibroma that was excised completely following embolization and we also review the literature.
