Rhinosporidiosis is endemic in India and Sri Lanka and parts of East Africa and South America. Cases of ocular rhinosporidiosis have also been reported from Nepal. Ocular rhinosporidiosis usually involves the conjunctiva and the lacrimal sac. It usually presents as a polypoidal mass. Cystic mode of presentation has not yet been reported in the literature. We herein report an unusual mode of presentation of ocular rhinosporidiosis presenting as a huge conjunctival cystic mass.
鼻孢子虫病在印度、斯里兰卡、东非部分地区和南美洲呈地方性流行。尼泊尔也报告过眼部鼻孢子虫病病例。眼部鼻孢子虫病通常累及结膜和泪囊。它通常表现为息肉样肿物。文献中尚未报道过囊肿样表现。我们在此报告一例眼部鼻孢子虫病的不寻常表现,呈现为巨大的结膜囊肿样肿物。
