This report describes a case of conjunctival rhinosporidiosis.
A 10-year old Congolese boy (from DR Congo), presented in May 2003 with a history of a growing mass of the conjunctiva protruding through the palpebral aperture. Examination showed conjunctival polypoid mass with muco-purulent discharge from the affected eye. After surgical excision of the lesion, the microscopic diagnosis was rhinosporidiosis.
Rhinosporidiosis is a condition which both clinicians and pathologists should keep in mind when managing patients living in or coming from endemic countries with conjunctival masses.
