Disseminated Cutaneous Rhinosporidiosis.

A 41-year-old man from the state of Chhattisgarh, India, had a previous history of nasopharyngeal rhinosporidosis for 27 years, for which he had surgical intervention seven times, most recently endoscopically 2 months earlier. For the last 8 months, he had noticed skin lesions on the shoulders and forehead. Of interest was a history of bathing in ponds as a child. Examination revealed a soft, skin-colored, strawberry-shaped papule on the forehead (Figure 1A), a papule with a hemorrhagic crust on the left shoulder (Figure 1B), and a crusted friable plaque on the right shoulder (Figure 1C). Endoscopy revealed a 1 cm × 1 cm red polypoidal mass on the lateral wall of the nasopharynx. A diagnosis of disseminated cutaneous rhinosporidiosis with nasal-nasopharyngeal rhinosporidiosis was considered.
