  ABSTRACT: Angiofibromas are highly vascularized benign lesions that mainly arise in adolescent male patients in the region of the nasopharynx. Extra nasopharyngeal angiofibromas are rare entities. We present a case of an unusual site of angiofibromas. It is a 39-year-old patient, male referred to our hospital for a right cervical and oropharyngeal swelling that has been evolving for 7 years and increased rapidly in size 4 months ago. A computed tomographic (CT) scan with contrast agent injection revealed the presence of a mass obliterating the right parapharyngeal space without specific aspect. After complete removal, an angiofibroma was found in the histological analysis. Angiofibromas should be added to the differential diagnosis of the parapharyngeal tumors as they require specific management, especially avoiding invasive biopsies.
