It seems that this is the first time that the coexistence of rhinoscleroma and leprosy has been reported in the English literature.</p>

<p><strong>Case Presentation:</strong> We present the case of a 65-year-old male presented with nasal purulent rhinorrhea, extensive crusts and a large septal perforation. Rhinoscleroma and leprosy were diagnosed histopathologically. Culture results confirmed the diagnosis as well. Complete medical treatment was effective.</p>

<p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> This case report highlights the importance of possible coincidence of two rare granulomatous infectious diseases with similar pathophysiologies in a patient.</p>
