Giant cutaneous rhinosporidiosis.
A young male with a single, huge subcutaneous lesion of rhinosporidiosis is reported. The diagnosis was suggested by the presence of nasal rhinosporidiosis and confirmed by fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) from the skin lesion. This is the second report of giant skin lesions in rhinosporidiosis, from our department.
