Abstract

Eosinophilic angiocentric fibrosis (EAF) is a rare inflammatory fibrosing condition of unknown aetiology that involves the nose or larynx producing mucosal thickening and severe obstructive symptoms. We report the first case affecting a male. He presented with nasal obstruction requiring septoplasty. The clinical and histopathological features of the condition are discussed and a comparison is made with the seven previous reported cases.
