Conjunctival Rhinosporidosis Mimicking Papilloma in an Ethiopian Child: A Rare Case Report

Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic granulomatous disease caused by Rhinosporidium seeberi, mainly affecting the nose and nasopharynx. We report a sporadic occurrence of conjunctival rhinosporidiosis that mimicked papilloma in a 10-year-old Ethiopian child. Rhinosporidiosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of conjunctival lesions. Histopathology is necessary for a definitive diagnosis.

Abstract

Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic granulomatous disease caused by Rhinosporidium seeberi, mainly affecting the nose and nasopharynx. We report a sporadic occurrence of conjunctival rhinosporidiosis that mimicked papilloma in a 10-year-old Ethiopian child. Rhinosporidiosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of conjunctival lesions. Histopathology is necessary for a definitive diagnosis.
