Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic granulomatous disease caused by Rhinosporidium seeberi (earlier described as a fungus, now reclassified in its own class Mesomycetozoea). India and Sri Lanka are the endemic regions for rhinosporidiosis due to temperate climate and widespread custom of bathing in pond water. . Nose and nasopharynx are involved in most (74.6%) of the cases, followed by eyes (19%). Lesions of rare sites have been reported such as bone, vagina, vulva, oropharynx, buccal mucosa, tongue, paranasal sinuses, skin and subcutaneous tissue, urethra, trachea, larynx and bronchus. Here we present a rare case report of rhinosporiodiosis of penile shaft.
