Rhinopharyngoscleroma

Rhinopharyngoscleroma is a chronic infectious disease that affects the mucous membranes of the nose, throat and pharynx. It is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium sclerogenicum and is characterized by the formation of fibrous tissue in the affected areas.

Symptoms of nasopharyngoscleroma include nasal congestion, runny nose, cough, sore throat, difficulty breathing and loss of voice. In some cases, the disease can lead to the formation of nasal polyps, which can develop into cancer.

Treatment of nasopharyngoscleroma involves the use of antibiotics and other medications. Surgery may also be required to remove polyps and fibrous tissue.

Rhinopharyngoscleroma should be treated as early as possible to avoid complications and improve the patient's quality of life.

rhinopharyngioscleroma is a rare benign tumor-like lesion of the mucous membranes of the nose, tonsils and pharynx. Reaches the size of a chicken egg, sometimes even larger. It can lead to partial or complete obstruction of the nasal cavity and trachea, which makes free breathing impossible and leads to respiratory failure. The diagnosis is made if a neoplasm is detected in one of three locations (nose, mucous membrane of the nasal cavity, pharynx, or tonsil with draining ducts).
