    Area of Science:

    • Otorhinolaryngology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Rhinoscleroma is a chronic granulomatous disease caused by Klebsiella rhinoscleromatis.
    • It primarily affects the upper respiratory tract, classically the nose.
    • Diagnosis can be challenging, especially in non-endemic regions.

    Observation:

    • Two young male patients from Gaza presented with tumor-like masses in their nasal cavities and nasopharynx.
    • Clinical presentation mimicked other neoplastic or inflammatory conditions.
    • Biopsy revealed characteristic Mikulicz cells, and cultures confirmed Klebsiella rhinoscleromatis.

    Findings:

    • Histopathological examination confirmed rhinoscleroma with pathognomonic Mikulicz cells.
    • Bacteriological culture successfully identified Klebsiella rhinoscleromatis as the causative agent.

  • Both patients demonstrated a positive clinical response to antibiotic therapy.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering rhinoscleroma in the differential diagnosis of nasal masses, even in unexpected geographic locations.
    • Early diagnosis and appropriate antibiotic treatment are crucial for favorable outcomes.
    • Further research into the epidemiology and management of rhinoscleroma in non-endemic regions is warranted.
