Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic granulomatous infection of the mucous membranes that usually manifests as vascular friable polyps which occurs in the New World, Europe, Africa and Asia, but is most common in the tropics (India and Sri Lanka). The disease was first described in Argentina around 1890 by Malbran and Guillermo Seeber (the subject of his thesis). The disease is characterised by slow-growing, painless polyps or tumour-like masses, which are usually found on the nasal mucosa, lacrymal sac, conjunctivae, palate, larynx or penis. Chronic rhinitis and/or epistaxis may occur.
Since the polyps of rhinosporidiosis are vascular and friable, they bleed easily upon manipulation.
