title: [Rhinoscleroma: a report of 2 cases].
abstract: Rhinoscleroma is a rare chronic granulomatous infection caused by Klebsiella rhinoscleromatis. Because of its mundane clinical presentation as chronic rhinits, it is frequently unrecognized. The authors report the cases of two female patients with pseudotumoral rhiniscleromas located in the septum and in the rhinopharynx respectively CT scan permitted a precise evaluation of the extent of the lesion. Among the various para-clinical examinations required, bacteriological studies are very important and should be performed comcomitantly with biopsy.
