We report a case of a 45-year-old male with severe rhinoscleroma. The patient presented to the emergency room with dyspnea from a long-standing nasal-palatal mass. A tracheostomy was required for airway control. While dyspnea in the presence of an upper airway mass is typical of malignancy, consideration of non-oncological etiologies is important. We review the epidemiology, pathology, diagnosis, and treatment of rhinoscleroma.
我们报告一例45岁患有严重鼻硬结病的男性病例。该患者因长期存在的鼻腭部肿物导致呼吸困难而就诊于急诊室。为控制气道需要进行气管切开术。虽然上气道肿物存在时的呼吸困难是恶性肿瘤的典型表现,但考虑非肿瘤性病因也很重要。我们回顾了鼻硬结病的流行病学、病理学、诊断和治疗。
