Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic, granulomatous, mucocutaneous infection caused by Rhinosporidium seeberi . The infection is non-contagious and sporadic in humans. The site most commonly affected is the mucous membrane of the nose and nasopharynx, followed by the oropharynx, trachea, bronchi, ear, eye, and genitourinary tract. It can also spread to other areas through blood and lymph. Here, we report a case of rhinosporidiosis affecting the palate in a 60-year-old female patient.

“…The organism can be visualised with gomori methenamine silver, periodic acid sheff as well as haematoxylin and eosin staining. 2 It's a zoonotic disease and seen in cattle, horse, mule. Transmission is occurring through stagnant pools of water, dust from which endospore penetrates the nasal cavity mucosa and matures into sporangium in the submucosa.…”

<p class="abstract">Rhinosporidiosis is an infective chronic granulomatous lesion caused by an organism rhinosporidium seeberi, which is seen endemic in some parts of Asia. This organism is difficult to culture and the diagnosis is based on histopathological examination. This disease is more commonly seen in men, in second to third decade..<strong> </strong>This case report is regarding a case of a 55 years old lady with history of recurrent rhinosporidiosis in nose. The lesion was found to arise from the inferior meatus and was pale smooth glistening in appearance, insensitive and does not bleed on touch. Site of origin of the polyp and the appearance was atypical of that of rhinosporidiosis. Patient was subjected for endoscopic excision and cauterisation of the base of the lesion and sent for histopathological examination .Biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of rhinosporidiosis.</p>

“…Rhinosporidiosis is rare in Nigeria though sporadic cases of nasal infections have been reported from different parts of the country including South-East (Nnewi), North-Central (Jos), South-West (Ibadan) South-South (Port Harcourt), North-West (Sokoto) and North-East (Maiduguri) [3,[16][17][18][19][20][21] Ocular rhinosporidiosis can affect the eye primarily or as the aftermath of a metastatic spread from a primary site elsewhere in the body. Trauma has been recorded as a predisposing factor to ocular rhinosporidiosis [22].…”

Aim:The aim of this report is to raise the awareness of the existence of this rare ocular affliction in our locality and to highlight the importance of routine histopathological diagnosis of ocular mass lesions. Case Presentation: An 11 year old male school child presented to our centre with a 9 months history of a fleshy growth which bleeds spontaneously, on the inner aspect of the right upper eyelid. Other parts of both eyes including the left eye lid were normal A provisional diagnosis of squamous cell papilloma of the conjunctiva was made and the patient underwent an excisional biopsy of the lesion. Microscopic sections of the mass showed hyperplastic polypoid lesion with numerous globular cysts within the subepithelia conjunctiva with a surrounding of heavy inflammatory reaction composed of lymphocytes, plasma cells and neutrophils. A histopathological diagnosis of conjunctival rhinosporidiosis was made. Discussion: Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic localized granulomatous infection caused by an aquatic Case Study
