[Rhinoscleroma with sinuso-orbitary invasion]

The authors present the case of an 11-year-old child with a slowly progressive tumoral invasion resulting in bilateral nasal obstruction, massive facial deformation, and an exophthalmos of the left eye. There was no impairment of the child's general health. The histological investigation revealed the presence of Mikulicz' cells and von Frisch's bacilli. The resultant diagnosis was rhinoscleroma.
