ABSTRACT

Rhinosporidiosis is a cutaneous and/or subcutaneous chronic disease of human and other animals caused by Rhinosporidium seeberi. This granulomatous disease is characterized by the development of polyps primarily affecting the mucous membranes of the nostrils and the ocular conjunctivae of the infected hosts. Diagnosis is essentially based on the histological detention in tissues of R. seeberi, phathognomonic endosporulating sporangia, in various stages of development. Rhinospordiosis in not a life–threatening disease, and its treatment usually is limited to the surgical removal of the polyps.
