임신중에 발생한 혈관섬유종 2례

Angiofibroma is a uncommon, non-metastasizing, highly vascular, benign tumor, but clinically considered as a malignancy because of invasiveness to surrounding structures, bleeding tendency during surgery and high recurrence rate. It occurs usually in the posterolateral wall of nasopharynx in adolescent males. It occurs rarely in females, especially in pregnant woman.

Recently we experienced two rare cases of angiofibroma occurred in the nasal cavity of 25 years and 27 years pregnant woman.
