Rhinolith, commonly addressed as nasal stone is quite unusual and rare entity. It is actually a calcified mass that form within the nasal cavity, typically as a result of mineral deposits accumulating around a core of foreign material (which can be exogenous or endogenous in origin). Although often small and asymptomatic, rhinolith can occasionally grow to significant size, causing severe clinical symptoms. Case description: We report a case of this clinical entity, a tribal woman from interior Himalayan regions, where the lack of medical facilities and expertise led to missed diagnosis, years of suffering and a rhinolith of humongous proportions.

鼻石，通常被称为鼻结石，是一种非常罕见的实体。它实际上是在鼻腔内形成的钙化团块，通常是由于矿物质围绕异物核心（其来源可以是外源性或内源性）沉积而形成。虽然鼻石通常较小且无症状，但偶尔也会生长到很大尺寸，导致严重的临床症状。病例描述：我们报告了一例该临床实体病例，患者是一位来自喜马拉雅山区内陆的部落女性，由于缺乏医疗设施和专业知识，导致诊断延误、多年受苦，最终形成了巨大的鼻石。
