South Med J. 1988 Dec;81(12):1580-2. doi: 10.1097/00007611-198812000-00029.

Abstract

We have described a case of rhinopharyngeal rhinoscleroma, and reviewed the clinical behavior and management of this disease. Selective long-standing antibiotic treatment was successful in halting the process. Treatment of the advanced cicatrix with carbon-dioxide laser vaporization yielded excellent results.
