Two cases of ethomoidal antrolith in our clinic were reported.Case 1: A 61-year-old female visited our clinic complaining of right nasal obstruction and rhinorrhea. A calculus in the right anterior ethmoid sinus was removed by surgery. The calculus was milky white, oval shaped, weighed 1.89gr and had no core substance. This was a rather large stone. The main components were calcium phosphate, calcium carbonate and protein.Case 2: An 18-year-old male visited our clinic complaining of left nasal obstruction and rhinorrhea. A calculus located in the left anterior ethmoid sinus was removed by surgery. The calculus was light brown, oval shaped and weighed 0.18gr and had no core substance. This was a rather small stone. The main components were calcium phosphate, calcium carbonate and protein.A review of the literature revealed 133 cases of rhinolithiasis in Japan. These are analized statistically.
