Rhinosporidiosis is a rare chronic granulomatous disease, characterized by polypoidal lesions of the mucous membrane. It commonly affects the mucous membrane of the nose, pharynx, conjunctiva and palate. Rhinosporidium seeberi is the causative agent. Higher prevalence is seen in the Indian subcontinent and Sri Lanka, mainly in south India but remains quite rare in the northern states. Presented here is a case of a 32-year-old female with a polypoid nasal rhinosporidiosis. The patient presented with a long-standing history of right nasal obstruction and intermittent epistaxis since the last 2 years. Diagnosis was confirmed by histopathological examination and she was successfully treated by complete surgical excision. Nasal rhinosporidiosis lesions may largely mimic other ordinary nasal polyps, hence, it is very crucial for clinicians in the northern region to consider rhinosporidiosis as a differential diagnosis when assessing patients presenting with nasal swellings
