Rhinolithiasis is a rare calcareous formation located within the nasal fossae. It is usually accompanied by purulent rhinorrhea and nasal obstruction. However, other symptoms such as recurrent epistaxis and cacosmia may be present. The diagnosis is made through endoscopic nasal exams and computed tomography (CT) associated with high clinical suspicion. The treatment consists of its removal and antibiotic therapy. In this paper, the authors describe the case of a large, asymptomatic, rhinolith in a 17-year-old male, discovered on a conical beam tomography scan performed after a routine panoramic radiograph.
