Rhinoscleroma is a chronic granulomatous disease of the respiratory mucosa caused by klebsiella rhinoscleromatis. It commonly involves the nose followed by nasopharynx, oropharynx, larynx, trachea and bronchi. Middle aged females are most prone for this disease. Isolated laryngeal involvement is a rare condition. It should be differentiated from other chronic granulomatous conditions and should be managed early to decrease the morbidity caused by the disease.
