Abstract

Rhinosporidiosis is a benign chronic inflammatory infection which manifests as a granulomatous polyp predominantly in the nose and nasopharynx. The extranasal sites of involvement include the lacrimal sac, tongue, palate, larynx, external genitalia, skin and bones. Few cases of disseminated rhinosporidiosis have been reported. Literature regarding various bizarre presentations and the mode of dissemination from primary site to non-mucosal sites has been reviewed.
