title: Ocular rhinosporidiosis.
abstract: Rhinosporidium seeberi, the causative organism causing rhinosporidiosis, also affects extranasal sites. A 1 5-year-old male presented with a conjunctival fleshy swelling near the inner canthus of the left eye. His visual acuity was within normal range. Conjunctival papilloma was the provisional diagnosis for which he was operated on. Histopathology proved to be a case of ocular rhinosporidiosis. Six months follow-up of the case showed no recurrence.
