Disseminated Rhinosporidiosis Destroying the Talus: A Case Report

Abstract

Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic granulomatous fungal disease caused by Rhinosporidiosis seeberi. It usually affects the mucocutaneous tissue of the nose; bone involvement is rare. We report the clinical features, diagnosis, and management of rhinosporidiosis involving the face, forehead, and right foot. As antimicrobial therapy was ineffective, a below-knee amputation was performed.
