ABSTRACT

Background: Rhinosporidiosis is a rare, chronic granulomatous disease caused by the organism Rhinosporidium seeberi, aquatic protistan parasite. First described in 1900 by Guillermo Seeber, because of histological finding in a nasal polyp, that was the origin of the disease's name. Generally presents as swollen, pink or red polyps in the nasal cavity or the ocular conjunctivae but other sites of infection have been report. It is more frequently present in patient between 20 and 40 years old, with predilection inmale. It has high prevalent in southern India, Sri Lanka, and Southeast Asia.
Clinical case: This report describes a five case of Rhinosporidiosis, four of them in conjunctiva and one in nasal cavity with history of nasal obstruction. Clinical outcome information was obtained from hospital files.
Results: After surgical excision of the lesions, the microscopic finding corresponded in all patients with Rhinosporidiosis.
Conclusions: Despite the nose and the conjunctiva are the most common sites of infection, it has been considerable interest due to age of presentation, the low incidence of the disease, and the clinical presentation that can be confuse with allergic nasal polyp, or vascular tumors. Surgical excision of the polyps is often successful in treating the disease.
