Two cases of longstanding rhinosporidiosis developed widespread asymptomatic nodular skin lesions. Cutaneous examination showed multiple, discrete, sessile and pedunculated, smooth and warty, friable nodular lesions of variable sizes and shapes. Histopathology of representative skin lesions showed hyperplastic epidermis with sporangia containing spores in the upper dermis diagnostic of rhinosporidiosis. Epidemiological data about rhinosporidiosis at Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (JIPMER), Pondicherry, India, is presented. Possible modes of dissemination to the skin and differential diagnosis are discussed in relation to this rare manifestation of rhinosporidiosis.
