Results: A 13-year-old boy consulted with an obstructing mass in the nasopharynx and severe muscle wasting, weight below his age and concurrent anemia. CT-scan revealed a soft-tissue mass occupying a maxillary sinus and nasopharynx consistent with an antrochoanal polyp. Initial biopsy revealed a papilloma, but the clinical picture warranted preoperative preparations for a possible vascular tumor such as juvenile angiofibroma. Transpalatal excision and final histopathology yielded nasal glial heterotopia.
