Rhinoliths are uncommon foreign bodies of the nose formed by in situ calcification of intranasal endogenous or exogenous foreign material. They are often an asymptomatic condition diagnosed accidentally during a routine examination. Although nasal foreign bodies are more frequently seen in children, and appear to be more common in women, they have been reported in patients of all ages. This article describes a case of rhinolith involving a 38-year-old male. The etiology, thin-sectioned microscopic findings, differential diagnoses, and treatment are also discussed.
鼻石是由鼻内源性或外源性异物原位钙化形成的少见的鼻部异物。它们通常是在常规检查时意外诊断出的无症状情况。虽然鼻异物在儿童中更常见，且似乎在女性中更为普遍，但各年龄段患者均有报道。本文描述了一例涉及一名38岁男性的鼻石病例。还讨论了其病因、薄层显微镜检查结果、鉴别诊断及治疗方法。
