Ocular Rhinosporidiosis presenting as recurrent chalazion
International Ophthalmology, 2015Co-Authors: Somnath Mukhopadhyay, Subrata Shome, Amit Chakrabarti, Swati Mazumdar, Avisek De, Kaushik Sadhukhan, Bivas BalaAbstract:Rhinosporidiosis, a granulomatous disease caused by Rhinosporidium seeberi , is widely prevalent in Sri Lanka and southern parts of India. Besides the eye, the lacrimal passage and nasal cavity are affected. The most common ocular involvement is a subconjunctival bleeding mass. Our case, a 9-year-old girl from a rural background with a history of pond water bathing, presented with a marginal chalazion involving the left lower lid. She had a history of chalazion involving the same site three months earlier which was managed by incision and curettage. A decision of surgical exploration was made and the evacuated mass was examined histologically showing evidence of Rhinosporidiosis. This type of clinical presentation for ocular Rhinosporidiosis (as recurrent chalazion) has not been reported earlier in the literature. This case emphasises that the clinicians from this part of the world must consider ocular Rhinosporidiosis as differential diagnosis in cases with recurrent chalazion especially in a rural background with a habit of pond water bathing.

Polymorphic cutaneous Rhinosporidiosis
European Journal of Dermatology, 2006Co-Authors: Ashok GhorpadeAbstract:Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic granulomatous condition caused by Rhinosporidium seeberi primarily affecting the mucosa of the nose, eyes and sinuses. The patients usually present with nasal symptoms and skin involvement is uncommon [1-3]. Here, a patient with nasal Rhinosporidiosis having two different morphological types of cutaneous lesions of Rhinosporidiosis, coexisting at the same time and at the same site, is reported. The diagnosis was confirmed by FNAC (Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology) and skin biopsy from the skin lesions. To the best of my knowledge, such an unusual occurrence has not been reported earlier in literature.

giant cutaneous Rhinosporidiosis
Journal of The European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, 2006Co-Authors: Ashok GhorpadeAbstract:A young male with a single, huge subcutaneous lesion of Rhinosporidiosis is reported. The diagnosis was suggested by the presence of nasal Rhinosporidiosis and confirmed by fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) from the skin lesion. This is the second report of giant skin lesions in Rhinosporidiosis, from our department.

verrucoid cutaneous Rhinosporidiosis
Journal of The European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, 1998Co-Authors: Ashok Ghorpade, Cherukot RamananAbstract:Verruca vulgaris like lesions of cutaneous Rhinosporidiosis are reported in a middle aged Indian male. He also had nasal Rhinosporidiosis. Imprint smears from skin lesions showed sporangia with endospores, confirming the diagnosis.

nasal Rhinosporidiosis in humans new interpretations and a review of the literature of this enigmatic disease
Medical Mycology, 2011Co-Authors: Bineeta Kashyap, Madhumita Barua, Neelima Gupta, Rumpa Saha, Lakshmi Vaid, Alok BankaAbstract:Rhinosporidiosis is a disease caused by Rhinosporidium seeberi which primarily affects the mucosa of the nose, conjunctiva and urethra. While it is endemic in some Asian regions, isolated cases are reported in other parts of the world as a result of the socio-cultural phenomenon of the migration. Its manifestation is a polypoid mass growing inside the affected cavity and the only treatment is surgical excision. Rhinosporidiosis is a condition which both clinicians and microbiologists should keep in mind when managing patients with nasal masses even those from non endemic areas. It is critical in such cases to follow the clinical course to ensure against recurrence of the disease. This study describes the clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of Rhinosporidiosis of the nose and nasopharynx in a series of three cases in East Delhi, India.
