Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic mucocutaneous granulomatous disease caused by Rhinosporidium seeberi, commonly affecting the nose and nasopharynx. Endobronchial involvement is of rare occurrence but can pose challenging problems for diagnosis, surgical excision and anaesthetic management. We report a 40-year-old man with a history of recurrent nasal rhinosporidiosis who presented with unilateral nasal obstruction, cough, shortness of breath and a radiological feature of left lung collapse. Eight years since the last surgery, he presented with a recurrent lesion in the nose with concurrent endobronchial involvement. The patient underwent excision of the nasal and the endobronchial lesion successfully under general anaesthesia without any complication and good symptomatic improvement. The clinical presentation and the management of endobronchial rhinosporidiosis are discussed here. The surgical difficulties faced during the procedure are highlighted.

Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic granulomatous infectious disease caused by Mesomycetozoea Rhinosporidium seeberi. This highly recurrent polypoid lesion has a predilection for the nose and nasopharynx, although other organ systems may be affected. Involvement of the tracheobronchial tree is very rare, and poses a challenge for diagnosis and management. In this report, we present a 30‐year‐old man with a history of recurrent nasal polyp who presented with cough, shortness of breath, haemoptysis, and a radiological feature of right lung collapse on imaging. He was diagnosed with rhinosporidiosis based on histopathological examination of bronchoscopic biopsy specimen taken from the right principal bronchial mass. Shortly after hospitalization, he developed acute respiratory distress requiring emergency bronchoscopic intervention. A pinkish mulberry‐like tracheal and right bronchial mass was removed endoscopically with cauterization of the base of the lesion. On long‐term follow‐up, the patient was free of symptoms without recurrence of airway disease.

“…2 The lesions are commonly distributed in the nasal cavity and pharynx, but also have been reported to involve genitals, skin, bronchus, extremities, and bone. [3][4][5][6] We report a case of rhinosporidiosis involving as many as four sites in the head and neck region, but not disseminated to the rest of the body. We also present an analysis of patients presenting with rhinosporidiosis to our institution over 5 years in an attempt to determine the various sites of involvement in the head and neck region.…”

Nondisseminated Rhinosporidiosis with Multisite Involvement in the Head and Neck

Rhinosporidiosis is a communicable disease prevalent in tropical countries that affects one or more mucocutaneous sites such as the nasal cavity, pharynx, skin, bronchus, genitals, and bone, in isolation or together. We report a case of multicentric rhinosporidiosis involving the nasal cavity, oropharynx, larynx, and cheek skin without disseminated disease outside the head and neck. Although the appearance of mucocutaneous lesions in our patient was similar to that of papilloma or neoplasm, the distinct clinicopathologic characteristics of the rhinosporidiosis guided us in managing the case successfully. In our own experience with 11 patients with rhinosporidiosis on whom we operated over the past 5 years, the nasal cavity and pharynx were the most commonly involved sites in the head and neck. Surgical excision of all lesions along with cauterization of the base and long-term dapsone therapy is the current standard of care for multicentric rhinosporidiosis.
