A case of rhinoscleroma with exclusive nasal localization, is reported. The growth of a bacterial granulomatous inflammation, involving the upper respiratory tract is responsible for the disease. Clinical and paraclinical features are explained. Under suitable antibiotic treatment, the course of the disease is favourable. Surgery might be considered only when scarred fibrous sequellae are present.
