A case report is presented on a patient with a rhinolith. Besides the clinical symptoms and the diagnostic procedures special emphasis is placed on the results obtained from mineralogical analyses. Chemical, thermal and x-ray diffraction analyses showed that the rhinolith consisted chiefly of siderite (FeCO3) and ferrihydrite (5Fe2O3 X 9H2O). Analysis via the scanning-electronmicroscope and thin-section analysis under the polarizing microscope revealed a nucleus of high iron content. In accordance with the literature an exogenic aetiology of the rhinolith is assumed.
本文报告一例鼻石患者。除了临床症状和诊断程序外，特别强调了矿物分析的结果。化学、热分析和X射线衍射分析表明，鼻石主要由菱铁矿（FeCO3）和水铁矿（5Fe2O3·9H2O）组成。扫描电子显微镜分析和偏光显微镜下的薄片分析显示有一个高铁含量的核心。根据文献推测鼻石的病因是外源性的。
