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.
