Case report presenting an unusual site of angiofibroma is described. An adult male presented with a mass hanging out from the right nostril with epistaxis. A C.T. scan performed in this cast described it to be an infected polyp. The patient was operated upon. The mass arose from the septum and bled on removal. The histopathological diagnosis of the mass showed characteristic features of an angiofibroma.
