ABSTRACTIntroduction: Rhinoscleroma is a chronic, granulomatous infection caused by Gram negative facultative intracellular encapsulated, non-motile bacillus Klebsiella rhinoscleromatis that most frequently affects the respiratory mucosa, especially the nasal cavity and eventually extending through the lower respiratory tract. Case Report: We report a case of rhinoscleroma in a 32-year-old female presenting with extensive swelling of mid-face encroaching onto the lower two-thirds of the nose, upper lip and oral cavity and nasal blockage with a duration of more than five years. A biopsy was taken for histological diagnosis which confirmed the diagnosis of rhinoscleroma followed by excision of the lesion and reconstruction of the nose and upper lip. For five years, there was no evidence of recurrence. Conclusion: When the disease progresses with proliferation, it may simulate a tumor, as in our patient with typical Hebra nose.
