Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic disease that classically presents with the involvement of nose and nasopharynx. However, it can be present in various other sites including conjunctiva, vulva, vagina, larynx and scalp. We report a case with a Rhinosporidial mass in the nose extending to oropharynx and multiple cutaneous lesions of Rhinosporidiosis in a patient with HIV, This case is the first of its kind where HIV has been associated with Rhinosporidiosis.
