Rhinoliths result from neglected nasal foreign bodies that gradually increase in size. They are usually discovered incidentally during routine ENT examination or due to the associated symptoms such as nasal obstruction or persistent foul-smelling unilateral nasal discharge. A case of a 14-year-old girl was reported with a year history of the symptom. The foul-smelling nasal discharge noted by her mother was not the main concern to them. She was referred by her primary care physician as she complained of impacted ear wax. However, rhinolith was incidentally found upon routine clinical examination in the ENT clinic and was removed uneventfully.
鼻石是由被忽视的鼻腔异物逐渐增大形成的。它们通常在常规耳鼻喉检查时偶然发现，或因鼻塞、单侧鼻腔持续恶臭分泌物等相关症状而被发现。本文报告了一例14岁女孩，有一年的相关症状病史。她母亲注意到的恶臭鼻腔分泌物并非她们主要关心的问题。她因主诉耳垢堵塞由初级保健医生转诊而来。然而，在耳鼻喉科诊所的常规临床检查中偶然发现了鼻石，并顺利将其取出。
