Indian Journal of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology. 2007 May-Jun; 73(3): 179-81http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/52458Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic granulomatous disease of the mucocutaneous tissue, which clinically presents as polypoidal growths. Cutaneous lesions are infrequent and are generally associated with mucosal lesions. We present a case of cutaneous rhinosporidiosis in association with recurrent nasopharyngeal rhinosporidiosis in a 65-year-old male patient. He presented with dysphagia for solid foods and skin growth on the left side of jaw of 2 years duration. Histopathology of cutaneous and nasopharyngeal lesions revealed numerous thick walled sporangia in a vascular connective tissue along with a granulomatous inflammation confirming the diagnosis of cutaneous and nasopharyngeal rhinosporidiosis. Endoscopic removal of nasopharyngeal polyp was done and he was started on dapsone therapy.engAgedHumansMaleNasopharyngeal Diseases --diagnosisRhinosporidiosis --diagnosisSkin Diseases, Parasitic --diagnosisCase Reports
