EOSINOPHILIC ANGIOCENTRIC FIBROSIS AS A CAUSE OF NASAL OBSTRUCTION. A CASE REPORT. 2020

I Němec, and M Mikolaj, and P Hrabal

Eosinophilic angiocentric fibrosis (EAF) is a rare benign lesion of unknown aetiology, found predominantly in the upper respiratory tract. The fibrosis must be confirmed by considering other lesions in the differential diagnosis. The typical histological characteristics are the basis for establishing the diagnosis. We present a patient with long-term nasal obstruction caused by EAF. The patient had repeated resections of the lesion for its recurrences. As follows from the literature, radical resection is crucial for the treatment of EAF. This procedure may be difficult at times given the extent and localization of the disease..
