ABSTRACT

Rhinoliths are rare in the nasal cavity. They usually have a foreign body nucleus of bacteria, blood, pus cells, mucus, crusts, or some foreign material from outside of the body. They are largely composed of calcium and magnesium salts, principally carbonate and phosphate, with traces of sodium chloride. The authors recently experienced a case of rhinolith in the left nasal cavity of a 18-year old female with chief complaints of nasal obstruction, mucoprulent discharge, and episodes of frequent nasal bleeding for several years. Anterior rhinoscopy of the nose revealed a black hard mass between the septum and the inferior turbinate at the anterior portion of the left nasal cavity. Under local anesthesia, the mass measuring 2.0×2.0×1.5cm and weighing approximately 3.0gm was removed with a nasal forceps.
