Nasal rhinosporidiosis: a report of two cases

Rhinosporidiosis is an infectious, granulomatous, mucocutaneous disease caused by Rhinosporidium seeberi, which affects mainly the naso-oropharynx and occasionally the conjunctiva, lacrimal sac, urethra, penis, vagina, larynx, sinuses, and skin. It occurs worldwide and has been reported in the Americas, Europe, Africa, and Asia, with the highest incidences registered in India and Sri Lanka. Infection occurs after inoculation of spores found in stagnant water ponds, lakes, and rivers, and even in dust. In the nasal mucosa, the disease manifests as a red or pink polypoid mass, which can be confused with malignant lesions, especially when ulcerated. Diagnosis is made by histopathologic and/or cytologic examination.
