A rare case with nasopharyngeal angiofibroma stalked from the posterior middle nasal meatus was reported. The patient, a 21 years old male, complained of recurrent bleeding and obstruction of the left nostril. Anterior rhinoscopy showed a tumor occupying the left middle nasal meatus and choanae. Histological examination was performed and the tumor was diagnosed as angiofibroma. Angiography showed that the feeding artery was the left maxillary artery. Angiographic embolization with gelf orm and a transpalatal approach were performed in order to remove the tumor four days after the embolization. The tumor was stalked from the posterior middle nasal meatus and was readily removed with electrocautery. Blood loss was 80ml.
