Abstract

Rhinoscleroma is a rare chronic granulomatous infectious disease and important differential diagnosis in developing countries and emigrants from these regions. In this survey we present seven cases from University Hospital Kigali, Rwanda, and one more from Germany. All cases are discussed on the background of the current literature.
