ABSTRACT
Rhinoscleroma is an uncommon chronic granulomatous disease of the upper airways affecting nasal cavity, nasopharynx, larynx, trachea, and bronchi. The oral cavity, para nasal sinuses, and soft tissues of the lips and nose can be affected. In rare cases, rhinoscleroma spreads to the orbit. We present a case that was being evaluated for bilateral neck nodal mass, was confused with malignancy and subsequently, on thorough clinicopathological evaluation, was diagnosed as rhinoscleroma. This case underlines the importance of thorough clinical evaluation and diagnostic workup before instituting any sort of treatment in oncology.
