“…Though it appears to occur universally but remains largely endemic in Indian subcontinent [8,10,11]. The route of transmission to human is not clearly defined, however most researchers believes that direct contact with the spores through dust, soil or prolonged exposure to stagnant water are potential risk factor of contracting the disease [10,11].…”

“…Usually patients' presents with history of gradual nasal growth, occasional nasal bleeding, nasal itching and sneezing [8,[10][11][12] as in the index case who presented with spontaneous left nasal bleeding and nasal growth. Nasal rhinosporidiosis is characterised by development of single pedunculated polyp, multiple sessile polypoid masses or combination of both.…”

“…The mainstay of treatment for rhinosporidiosis involves meticulous, complete and wide surgical excision, this if followed by electro-cautery of the base this may abate recurrence resulting from the spillage of endospores on the adjacent mucosa [8,10,11]. The index case had excision of the lesion completely and the base was cauterised under local anaesthesia.…”

“…Clinically, the lesion presents as a polypoid, soft tissue mass, sometimes pedunculated, of the nose (primary site of the infection), the eye and its adnexa especially conjunctiva and the urethra. A few cases have been reported in Nigeria [6][7][8][9]. A case of nasal rhinosporidiosis is presented.…”

Abstract:Rhinosporidiosis is a rare infective chronic granulomatous lesion cause by Rhinosporidium seeberi, which is endemic in some part of Asia, although sporadic cases seen in America, Europe and Africa. The lesion presents as a soft tissue mass of the nose (primary site), eye and urethra. The organism is difficult to culture and the diagnosis is based on microscopy and histological examination of the lesion. Nasal rhinosporidiosis is uncommon disease in our environment which mimics neoplasm in its clinical features. We report a case of nasal rhinosporidiosis in an 18 year old male rural farmer from North Eastern Nigeria.

Background. Rhinosporidiosis is a common disease entity in tropical countries; however, it can be encountered in other parts of the world as well due to increasing medical tourism. It may mimic other more malignant and vigorous pathologies of the involved part. Case Report. We present a case of a 36-year-old male presenting with proptosis due to involvement of nasolacrimal duct which is rare. We will discuss typical CT and MRI features of the disease which were present in the case. Conclusion. For a surgeon and a radiologist, this is a necessary differential to be kept in mind for sinonasal masses. CT and MRI are invaluable investigations. However, FNAC is confirmatory. Both clinical and radiological aspects are required to reach correct diagnosis.
