Cutaneous Rhinosporidiosis mimicking soft tissue tumour: A Case report with review of literature
Keywords:
Rhinosporidium seeberi, subcutaneous, nasal cavityAbstract
Background:Â Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic granulomatous disease caused by Rhinosporidium seeberi. It is endemic in India & Sri Lanka. It usually involves the nasal cavity & rarely other sites including skin. Cutaneous rhinosporidiosis presents as papule & nodule and very rarely as soft tissue mass.
Case Report:Â We report a case of cutaneous rhinosporidiosis in a 32-year old HIV seropositive male presenting as soft tissue mass on lateral aspect of left foot near ankle-joint.
Conclusion:Â High index of suspicion is very important for an early diagnosis and management of these cases. Rarity of this lesion warrants its mention.
