Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 11
Abstract
Abstract: To study incidence and clinicopathological features of nasal rhinosporidiosis, amongst inflammatory lesions of the nose. A Retrospective study of biopsy specimens from nose, diagnosed as rhinosporidiosis on histology, over a ten year period from January 2002 to October 2012, was carried out. The detailed clinical history was collected from clinical record. The tissues were studied with Haematoxylin and Eosin stain and Periodic acid Schiff stain (PAS). Total 09 cases of nasal rhinosporidiosis were studied. Rhinosporidiosis was most commonly seen in 2nd and 3rd decade with 3 (37.50%) cases in each. The youngest patient was 11 years old and oldest was 40 years old. All cases were seen in males. All the 9 patients of rhinosporidiosis presented with nasal mass, in addition epistaxis was seen in 6 (75%) cases. Rhinosporidiosis earlier thought to be protozoan now proved as of bacterial origin, often presenting as nasal mass with epistaxsis in young adult males.
