ABSTRACT
Rhinolith is an uncommon nasal mass and a rare entity encountered in clinical practice. The typical symptoms of rhinolith are unilateral nasal obstruction, foul smelling purulent nasal discharge and epistaxis, crusting, swelling of nose or face, anosmia, epiphora and headache. In this report, we present a case of recurrent rhinolith manifesting as an incidental finding on dental radiographs. A 26-year old male patient with a history of long standing halitosis had an operation for rhinolith seven years previously. Rhinolith in the right nasal cavity was diagnosed on rigid endoscopic examination. Rhinolith was removed by using a rigid nasal endoscope under local anaesthesia. To our knowledge, recurrence of rhinolith has not been described previously in the literature.

Los síntomas comunes del rinolito son obstrucción nasal unilateral, secreción nasal purulenta y maloliente, epistaxis, encostramiento, inflamación de la nariz o la cara, anosmia, epífora, y dolor de cabeza. Este reporte presenta el caso de un rinolito recurrente, que se presentara como un hallazgo incidental en una radiografía dental. Un paciente varón de 26 años de edad, con una larga historia de consulta por halitosis con un dentista y un otorrinolaringólogo, fue operado a causa de un rinolito hace siete años. El rinolito en la cavidad nasal derecha, fue diagnosticado mediante un examen endoscópico rígido. El rinolito fue extirpado usando un una endoscopia nasal rígida, bajo anestesia local. Hasta donde sabemos, la recurrencia de rinolitos no ha sido descrita previamente en la literatura.
