AVM’s are errors of vascular morphogenesis, almost always present at birth, sometimes manifesting later in life. Head and neck is the commonest site, accounting for 60% of cases. AVM of head & neck is a rare but a life threatening benign condition. We are reporting a case of AVM on nose of a 60 years old patient, presenting during pregnancy at the age of 50 years.References
