Abstract
A case with palatal presentation of scleroma is presented due to its rarity and unusual manifestations. The patient presented with only palatal sympto ms. Nasal endoscopy revealed signs of all three stages of scleroma: catarrh al, granulomatous and sclerotic stages. Histopathology was vital in the dia gnosis. The patient was treated by medical therapy, and palatal symptoms we re relieved by uvulopalatopharyngoplasty.
