Chronic granulomatous disease is a rare phagocytic disorder with recurrent, severe bacterial and fungal infections. We describe an unusual case of chronic granulomatous disease manifesting as an invasive pulmonary aspergillosis with an obstructive necrotic mass at the right middle bronchus. The patient was successfully treated with a bronchoscopic intervention for the removal of the obstructive mass and a medical therapy.

Rhinoscleroma is a chronic granulomatous disease caused by gram negative rod shaped bacteria Klebsiella rhinoscleromatis. Most common sites of predilection include the nasal cavity and nasopharynx, but there are reports of its occurrence at other sites like the larynx, trachea, bronchi, middle ear, and orbit. We are reporting here a case of rhinoscleroma in a middle aged female patient involving the nasal cavity along with a brief review of literature.
