Abstract
Rhinosporidiosis is a rare disease. The last reported case in Cameroon dates back 34 years. This may give a false impression of the disappearance of this disease from this territory. We report the case of a 12-year-old female child, brought by her mother, to a c onsultation at the otolaryngology department of Limbe regional hospital in September 2015, for right nasal obstruction and ipsilateral epistaxis evolving for six months. The unpermitted physical examination of the right nostril showed a pedicled polyp, which appeared on the underside of the right lower cornea. This outgrowth of rosacea and bleeding easily on contact was painless. Histopathological examination of the surgical excision specimen of this polyp showed that it was rhinosporidiosis. In short, rhinosporidiosis is still present in Cameroon. It is desirable that specialists in otolaryngology master its clinical characteristics to discuss this diagnosis in consultation, because the quality of effective treatment depends on it.
