A Caucasian-16 year old boy presenting a relative health history was assessed at an out-patient office in "Pepe Portilla" Pediatric Hospital. Pinar del Rio. Cuba. It was observed a nasal obstruction with 2 years of evolution being associated to light epitasis in the last months as well as rhinolalia, night snores, sleeping apnea and a good general condition. At physical examination it was found a non- ulcer and hard - reddish mass occupying the whole nasopharynx. Later it was performed a CTA that showed a Juvenile Nasopharyngeal Angiofibroma and the surgical procedure was carried out. Authors present the experiences obtained with this case and make a review of the medical literature giving emphasis to diagnosis and treatment.
