Abstract
Nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (NA) is a rare, highly vascular, benign lesion typically affecting young males. It is prone to spontaneous bleeding even after minor trauma. Reported here is a case of an 18 years old male with almost 8x8cm swelling in the left cheek. There was nasal obstruction due to mass in the left nostril and he had a history of obstructive sleep apnea and frequent epistasis. Surgery was done through Weber- Ferguson approach.
