Rhinoscleroma is a progressive chronic granulomatous disease of the respiratory tract. Itusually involves the nose but can rarely progress to involve the nasopharynx , oropharynx , larynx, trachea and bronchi. We report an unusual case of a 60 year old female patient who presented with progressive bilateral nasal obstruction and decreased sense of smell. Histopathology played a vital role in the diagnosis. Surgicaldebulking of the sinonasal mass was done and patient was simultaneously treated with Rifampicin 600 mg daily for 6 weeks. Treatment was effective on the infection.
