Objective:Rhinoliths in adult are rare and uncommon.Clinical Presentation and Intervention: We present two cases of rhinoliths in adult. The first case reports an interesting case of a healthy adult male who presented with symptoms of foul-smelling nasal discharge and nasal block. The second case report merely shows an adult with the same clinical symptoms in which a rhinolith was diagnosed. Both cases report incidental findings of huge rhinoliths in the right nasal cavity.Conclusion: Management of the rhinolith and possible genesis of the rhinolith are discussed.
