A 48-year-old male patient presented to Skin and VD outpatient with multiple granulomatous growths of different sizes all over the body, including numerous subcutaneous swellings mimicking lipomas of 2 years duration. Two and half years back he was operated for a polypoidal growth of left nostril with subsequent recurrence. Fine needle aspiration cytology and histopathology of the cutaneous lesion confirmed the diagnosis as rhinosporidiosis. We report this rare case of disseminated cutaneous rhinosporidiosis.
