An unexpected host in a soft-tissue lesion of thigh
Indian Journal of Medical Microbiology ( IF 1.4 ) Pub Date : 2020-07-01 , DOI: 10.4103/ijmm.ijmm_20_236 Kavita Jain 1 , S M Sarfaraj 1 , Moumita Sengupta 1 , Chhanda Datta 1 , Uttara Chatterjee 1
Rhinosporidiosis is an enigmatic entity and poses a major health problem in the developing countries of South-East Asia. A soft friable polypoid nasal mass is the most common presentation, while sparse literature is available on extranasal involvement. We describe the case of a 35-year-old female patient who presented with a slow-growing soft-tissue swelling with ulceration over the thigh. On clinical and radiological examination, a provisional diagnosis of soft-tissue neoplasm was made. After resection, histopathological sections showed a closely packed cyst with innumerable endospores. The present case report documents the rare occurrence of an incidentally detected cutaneous rhinosporidiosis causing diagnostic difficulty.
