| Background: Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) is rare otolaryngology disorder worldwide and in Saudi Arabia. It is a benign tumor that tends to bleed and occurs in the nasopharynx which most commonly occurs in men more than women. Methods: A view of rare case report following a 27-year-old woman presented with recurrent attack of epistaxis for six months which was associated with nasal obstruction and snoring who was radiologically and surgically managed in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (ORL-HNS) Clinic of Khamis Mushayt General Hospital and follow up for one year who was completely asymptomatic. Conclusion: Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma in a female is very rare, and if confirmed sex chromosome studies must be performed. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment of JNA.
