Ocular Rhinosporidiosis in Rural Population: Case Series

Ocular involvement of rhinosporidiosis is seen in about 15% of cases and clinically appears as a freely mobile, granular, pink, fleshy sessile or pedunculated mass. The conjunctiva being the most common site of origin among the other sites. We present a case series of ocular rhinosporidiosis with varied presentation found almost exclusively among young male patients. The presentations of ocular rhinosporidiosis vary. Though the conjunctival origin is very common, it may not have a classic pink fleshy appearance at all times. A vascular/cystic painless conjunctival mass should also be considered as a case of rhinosporidiosis in prone areas.
