[Rhinosporidiosis: presentation of 4 cases].
We report 4 cases of rhinosporidiosis in the province of Cáceres. Two had nasal localization and in two ocular conjunctiva was involved. Three patients, two of which came from the same village, had the antecedent of bathing in the same stagnant water. The diagnosis was made by the microscopic observation of characteristic sporangia of Rhinosporidium seeberi in the histopathological study. The lesions did not respond to antibiotic and antiinflammatory treatment. After excision there were no recurrences, and the patients are asymptomatic after 1 1/2 year follow up.
