title: Cytological diagnosis of rhinosporidiosis with skeletal involvement--a case report.
abstract: A young Hindu male presented with painful swelling of left lower thigh for 6 months. The provisional diagnosis both clinically and radiologically was osteosarcoma. FNAC and biopsy proved the lesion to be a case of rhinosporidiosis. The present case is reported due to rare incidence of skeletal rhinosporidiosis.
