Unusual presentation of Rhinoscleroma
Journal Title: The Indian Practitioner - Year 2017, Vol 70, Issue 11
Abstract
Rhinoscleroma or respiratory scleroma is a chronic, slowly progressive, inflammatory disease of the upper respiratory tract. Here we present a 35 year old male presenting with unilateral orbital complaints and nonspecific findings on radiological examination, diagnosed only by histopathology as Rhinoscleroma. Due to the low incidence of this disease and its rare presentation in this case, diagnosis was a challenge, but outcome was successful.
