ABSTRACT

Antrochoanal polyps (ACPs) are an infrequent type of nasal polyp that account for about 3-5% of all type of nasal polyps. In our case, we report a 70-year-old female with an unusually huge antrochoanal polyp that presents with severe epistaxis episodes, which were managed by complete excision via endoscopic sinus surgery.
