A case with palatal presentation of scleroma is presented due to its rarity and unusual manifestations. The patient presented with only palatal symptoms. Nasal endoscopy revealed signs of all three stages of scleroma: catarrhal, granulomatous and sclerotic stages. Histopathology was vital in the diagnosis. The patient was treated by medical therapy, and palatal symptoms were relieved by uvulopalatopharyngoplasty.
