Abstract

Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic granulomatous disease affecting mucosal membranes, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. This case report presents a young male from Santhal Pargana, Jharkhand, who presented with nasal obstruction, epistaxis, and a mass in the right nasal cavity. Surgical excision and histopathological analysis confirmed rhinosporidiosis. Although no definitive medical treatment exists, surgical excision with cauterization remains the most effective method to prevent recurrence. This report marks the first documentation of nasal rhinosporidiosis in Santhal Pargana, Jharkhand.<br />Competing Interests: Human subjects: Consent for treatment and open access publication was obtained or waived by all participants in this study.
