Indian J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg. 2006 Oct;58(4):399-400. doi: 10.1007/BF03049611.

Abstract

Rhinosporidiosis is a disease caused by the organism Rhinosporidium seeberi, which is now believed to be a rare aquatic protistan parasite of fish. Ocular rhinosporidiosis is worldwide in distribution but relatively more common in India and Shrilanka. We report a retrospective case record of isolated lacrimal sac rhinosporidiosis in an 8 year male child from western Maharashtra. The clinical features, management and review of literature is discussed in brief.
