Nasopharyngeal angiofibroma in the elderly: report of a case.
Although nasopharyngeal angiofibromas usually occur during puberty and adolescence, thus being considered as juvenile, very rare documented reports describe this condition in old persons.  The case of a 62-year-old man with a nasopharyngeal angiofibroma successfully resected is presented.  It was the only lesion found in an old individual among 283 cases seen during a 20-year period in a large city hospital.
