Abstract
- Although rhinsporidiosis caused by Rhinosporidium seeberi is known to mankind since hundred years, many aspects of this enigmatic disease have remained mysterious till date. Parotid duct as a site of involvement has rarely been reported. Our case interestingly presented with a cystic mass of left parotid duct accompanied by an ulcer and mucopurulent discharge was finally confirmed to be a case of rhinosporidiosis by histopathological examination.
