title: [Nasal angiofibroma in an adult].
abstract: We have studied a nasal Angiofibroma in a 71-years-old male, who had not undergone any male-hormonal-therapy. The age of occurrence and the clinical course of this case made the tumor very unlikely to be a silent puberal nasal angiofibroma. After morphologic exam and exclusion of other bleeding entities of the nasal cavity we arrived at the diagnosis of nasal angiofibroma. We believe that this tumor might be arisen "ex novo" and that the nasal angiofibroma of elderly people might be a new entity.
