Résumé
Lethal midline granuloma is a rare disease, characterised by progressive unrelenting necrosis and mutilation of nose, midline facial tissues and other respiratory passages. This particular type of disease is heterogeneous in its pathogenesis, non-specificity of symptoms obscures timely and correct diagnosis and is responsible for delay in of treatment which can be detrimental as this disease calls for immediate intervention. We present a case report of 60 year old female who gave short one-month history of clinical symptoms.
