BACKGROUND
Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic, granulomatous, and non-contagious infection, in which highly vascularized polyps (mainly present in the nasal cavity) appear. These polyps usually bleed easily.
AIMS
To present the case of a 14 year-old male suffering from an obstruction and injury of the right nostril due to a polypoid shaped-lesion with a raspberry-like appearance.
METHODS
A wide surgery resection of the base of the lesion was performed, as well as a standard histopathology procedure, including microscopic analysis with haematoxylin-eosin and Grocott staining.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS
The histopathology report indicated that the chronic inflammatory polyp was compatible with rhinosporidiosis.
