Angiomyolipoma of nasal cavity is an extremely rare hamartoma tumor composed of mature adipocytes, vascular spaces with lack of elastic tissue, and the presence of bundles of mature smooth muscle cells. It manifests itself mainly by unilateral nasal obstruction and recurrent epistaxis. We present the case of a 73-years-old woman with chronic history of left-sided nasal obstruction and recurrent epistaxis associated with rhinorrhea and intermittent post nasal drip. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrate a vascular lesion inside the left nasal cavity. Angiography showed irrigation exclusively by the left sphenopalatine artery Surgical excision was performed by endoscopic endonasal approach after arterial embolization. World literature review showed that this is the twelfth reported case of angiomyolipoma of the nasal cavity.
