Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic granulomatous infection that frequently involves the nose and nasopharynx, and occasionally affects the other areas of the body. We report a 40-year-old patient who had disseminated subcutaneous rhinosporidiosis. The patient presented with multiple subcutaneous lesions over the different parts of the body during last five years. He had a past history of a lesion in his right nostril with nasal blockage and haemorrhage ten years back. In our surgical unit the patient had been subjected to elective operation with excision of subcutaneous lesions. The histopathology report of excised subcutaneous lesions was rhinosporidiosis. The patient is being followed up postoperatively.

“…Subcutaneous rhinosporidiosis resembling a tumor is described by various adjectives such as bgiant cutaneousQ [4], btumoralQ [5], bdisseminatedQ [7], and bgeneralizedQ [8]; however, the term rhinosporidioma suggested by Arvindan et al [6] appears to be the most appropriate name. Fewer than 30 such cases have been reported in adults.…”

“…This compels us to think on the possibility of the organism being motile or possessing the potential to migrate to adjacent tissues. Hematogenous and lymphatic spread have been reported and thought to be responsible for the dissemination of the disease to anatomically unrelated sites [7]. The lesion usually presents as a friable, polypoid, exophytic mass with submucosal studding of the erythematous surface with white dots giving it a “strawberry” like appearance.…”

Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic granulomatous mucocutaneous disease that is endemic in South Asia. It commonly affects men in the second to fourth decade of life. The most common site of infection is the nose or nasopharynx with primary involvement of the parotid duct noted very rarely; only four cases reported in literature. We report a case of a 77 year old male patient who presented with a subcutaneous cheek swelling with no other clinical features to suggest the diagnosis of rhinosporidiosis. An unusual affliction in a patient in the seventh decade of life, at a site not reported previously with no past history of the same makes it imperative to ascertain the known facts about both the organism and the disease. However the histopathological report confirmed the diagnosis which reiterates the need to further study the pathogenesis of this condition.
