Rhinosporidiosis, a difficult granulomatous disease of the nose is notorious for its high rate of recurrence and vascularity. Potassium Titanyl Phosphate (KTP) laserization of the mass seems to have provided an optimal solution in the management of this disease. We present our experience with the use of KTP-532 laser for this challenging disease.
