Cytodiagnosis of rhinosporidiosis.
Two clinically suspected cases of nasal rhinosporidiosis were studied cytologically using a wipe out technique. The smears showed the typical spores of the fungus and the cytological diagnosis of rhinosporidiosis was confirmed by excisional biopsy. The smear is recommended as a routine preliminary screening technique in the diagnosis of suspected cases of rhinosporidiosis.
