ABSTRACT
Rhinospordiosis, a chronic granulomatous disease of the mucocutaneous tissue, is endemic in India and other parts of South East Asia. It commonly affects the upper respiratory tract, but involvement of other sites has also been reported. A 27-year-old male patient reported with features simulating severe obital cellulitis underwent emergency managemt for his systemic problems. Subsequent CT scan and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of rhinoporidiois. Definitive surgical treatment was done to remove the suspected papillomatous mass which led to marked improvement of the patient.
