Rhinolith is an uncommon nasal mass in children and adults. A case of a 40 yr old female having a 7 years history of right nasal obstruction and a foul smelling right nasal discharge, which was clinically and radiologically diagnosed to be rhinolith, is being reported here. Epistaxis and nasal obstruction are its most marked symptoms. The complete resolution of the symptoms is easily achieved by the surgical removal of the rhinolith. This case highlights the importance of examining the nasal cavities in any patient with unilateral nasal obstruction symptoms.
