Abstract

Rhinosporidiosis is a rare granulomatous disease produced by the microorganism Rhinosporidium seeberi. Despite being considered an endemic infection in some areas of Asia, in our country it is an extremely rare disease. We present the case of a 10-year-old boy who consult for increased volumen in the left nostril of 1 month evolution, with progressive growth, self-limited epistaxis, and a physical examination with a polypoid le- sion, in which there were no prior suspicion, histopathology determined the presence of rhinosporidiosis. Epidemiology of the disease, its dissemination mechanisms, treatment options and major complications are discussed.
