Abstract

Rhinosporidiosis is an inflammatory disease prevalent in Asia, with the majority of the cases found in India. However, it has also been reported in other parts of the world. It is caused by Rhinosporidium seeberi and predominantly affects the mucous membranes of the nasal cavity and occasionally the eyes, skin and other parts of the respiratory system. Diagnosis is by histological examination of the affected tissues. In this article, we present an uncommon case of Rhinosporidiosis in a 17-year-old female.
