    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Mineralogy
    • Medical Diagnostics

    Background:

    • Rhinoliths, or nasal calculi, are rare calcified masses in the nasal cavity.
    • Diagnosis can be challenging due to non-specific symptoms and rarity.

    Observation:

    • A case of a rhinolith present for 77 years, weighing 18 grams, is presented.
    • The rhinolith's long duration and significant size are notable features.

    Findings:

    • Mineralogical analysis using electron-ray micro-probe, X-ray diffractometry, and infrared spectroscopy identified Whitlockite as the primary component.
    • The study highlights the diagnostic difficulties associated with nasal foreign bodies and calculi.

    Implications:

    • Understanding rhinolith composition aids in accurate diagnosis and management.
    • This case underscores the importance of considering rare pathologies in persistent nasal symptoms.
