A case of rhinoscleroma with laryngeal localization is reported. Geographic distribution of this granulomatous disease is discussed. Clinical and paraclinical features are explained. Its tumor-like appearance and local spread arouses suspicion of malignancy but differential diagnosis also includes fungal infections and numerous granulomatous diseases. The classic histopathology consists of large Mikulicz's cells. Treatment is essentially based upon antibiotics.
