Maxillary extranasopharyngeal angiofibroma: A case report and review of similar cases

Extranasopharyngeal angiofibromas (ENA) are a rare subtype of angiofibromas that exhibit different demography, clinical presentation, differentials and management. We present a case of an extranasopharyngeal angiofibroma that has occurred in the maxillary sinus, as well as review published literatur...
