AB - Rhinosporidiosis presents commonly as polypoidal growth in nose, but presentation in other sites including
skin, genitourinary tract is documented. Cutaneous presentation is rare, which may present as pedunculated
swelling or cutaneous ulceration, but presenting as soft tissue tumor is extremely rare. The multifaceted
presentation of the disease causes diagnostic dilemma to an unsuspecting physician. Clinical and
radiological findings may mislead, but usually typical history helps, and typical histology clinches the
diagnosis. We are presenting a case of disseminated cutaneous rhinosporidiosis presented as soft tissue mass
lesion in the leg causing diagnostic difficulty due to the rare presentation.
