Abstract

Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic granulomatous inflammatory disease characterised by polypoid lesions of the mucus membranes. The disease is endemic in India but very rare in the Middle East. We report the clinical presentation, management, and histopathology of the first case of rhinosporidiosis in Qatar and review the literature.
