Sir, Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic granulomatous infection caused by Rhinosporidium seeberi, a protistan parasite in the class Mesomycetozoea as per its recent taxonomic destination.1 Nose and eyes being the most common sites, penis and urethra manage to secure much lower rank among the sites of occurrence. Being a disease of worldâwide distribution, this menace has managed to intrude into several states of India quite effectively with Tamil Nadu and Kerala being at the top of the list. An increasing number of reports from different parts of West Bengal should sensitize us to know more about the modes of transmission and changing trends of the ecosystem in our state, if any.
