Abstract Rhinosporidiosis is a rare chronic granulomatous disease caused by rhinosporidium seeberi. Nasal rhinosporidiosis presents with nasal mass, nasal obstruction and epistaxis. In this study, we present our experience in 17 patients of rhinosporidiosis. Diagnosis was made on clinicopathological features. Different clinical presentations, management by surgical, combined with medical line of treatment are discussed with review of literature

Scleroma, more commonly known as rhinoscleroma, is a progressive, chronic, granulomatous disease of the respiratory tract and adjacent tissues. Early diagnosis and prolonged therapy are critical in avoiding its late sequelae. We describe an unusual case of scleroma presenting as worsening chronic lung disease. The variety of clinical presentations and treatment modalities is reviewed.

Chronic granulomatous disease is a rare phagocytic disorder with recurrent, severe bacterial and fungal infections. We describe an unusual case of chronic granulomatous disease manifesting as an invasive pulmonary aspergillosis with an obstructive necrotic mass at the right middle bronchus. The patient was successfully treated with a bronchoscopic intervention for the removal of the obstructive mass and a medical therapy.

Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic mucocutaneous granulomatous disease caused by Rhinosporidium seeberi, involving primarily the nose and nasopharynx. Very rarely, the disease can affect the lacrimal sac. Here we report a 35-year-old male patient who had rhinosporidial involvement of the nose 5 years ago, for which he underwent endoscopic nasal surgery. Five years after the excision of the nasal mass, he presented with lacrimal sac involvement. The clinical presentation and the management of lacrimal sac rhinosporidiosis are discussed here.

Rhinoscleroma is a chronic granulomatous disease caused by gram negative rod shaped bacteria Klebsiella rhinoscleromatis. Most common sites of predilection include the nasal cavity and nasopharynx, but there are reports of its occurrence at other sites like the larynx, trachea, bronchi, middle ear, and orbit. We are reporting here a case of rhinoscleroma in a middle aged female patient involving the nasal cavity along with a brief review of literature.

<p>Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic granulomatous disease caused by <em>Rhinosporidium seeberi</em>. It primarily affects nasal cavity. Cutaneous manifestation of the disease is rare. Here we report a case of disseminated subcutaneous rhinosporidiosis, clinically and radiologically suspected to be a soft tissue tumor, which was diagnosed by FNAC and confirmed by histopathological examination. </p>
