  • Title: Angiofibroma of inferior turbinate as an unusual complication of CO2 laser turbinoplasty.
    Author: Kang JW, Kim YH, Kim JH.
    Journal: J Craniofac Surg; 2013; 24(5):e513-4. PubMed ID: 24036830.
    Abstract:
    Angiofibroma is a benign vascular tumor that usually occurs in the nasopharynx, and extranasopharyngeal angiofibromas are rarely reported. We report the first case of an angiofibroma arising from the inferior turbinate after CO2 laser turbinoplasty. Endoscopic excisional biopsy was performed, but the tumor recurred after 2 months of surgery. The mass was excised by endoscopic approach including surrounding normal mucosal tissue. Histologic examination suggested the diagnosis of angiofibroma. The patient was asymptomatic, and there was no evidence of recurrence after 1 year of the second surgery.
