Objective: To report two cases of extranasopharyngeal angiofibroma, highlighting the diagnostic challenges involved. Methods: Design: Case Report. Setting: Tertiary Teaching Hospital and Medical School. Patients: Two (2). Results: A 13-year-old boy who presented with epistaxis and a vascular mass on the posterior nasal septum that enhanced on contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT), and a 3-year-old boy who presented with dysphagia and mild respiratory difficulty, with a large naso-oropharyngeal mass arising from the soft palate on physical and x-ray examination that could not be corroborated because stridor developed during sedation for CECT, both underwent endoscopic tumor excision. Conclusion As illustrated in these cases, atypical presentations of extranasopharyngeal angiofibromas can pose a considerable diagnostic and surgical challenge for clinicians.
