“…It was found that the disease commonly occurs in the 2 nd and 3 rd decades of life (the youngest case was a 8 years old child and the oldest one was 66 years), which was similar to Satyanarayana (1960), who also described the prevalence of the disease in the same decades of life and observed low incidence in children and old age 1 .However, recent outbreak of epidemic of rhinosporidiosis in Europe showed that all patients were in the age range 6-16 years, which was dissimilar with our study 2 . Rhinosporidiosis is predominant in male and similar findings have been reported by Lakshman and Kameswaran (1975) where male: female ratio was about 2:1 3 .…”

“…Human infection probably occurs owing to its contact to traumatized epithelium present in contaminated water. For this reason, the highest incidence of infection is reported among river-sand workers [5]. Review of the literature shows frequency of the disease to be greater in South Asia, with the largest number of cases having been reported in Southern India and Sri Lanka [2].…”

“…Characteristically, special electron dense bodies of about 1 -3 mm are seen in mature endospores. These endospores become extruded into the surrounding thick sporangial wall and eventually develop into trophocytes to perpetuate their life cycle [5].…”

Rhinosporidiosis is a benign chronic granulomatous fungal infection caused by Rhinosporidium seeberi. Rhinosporidiosis is endemic in South Asia, notably in Southern India and Sri Lanka. The common sites of involvement are the nose and nasopharynx followed by ocular tissue. Rhinosporidiosis is also known to involve many rare sites and may become disseminated to generalized form. Rhinosporidiosis of parotid duct is extremely rare. The case presented here is a 40-yearold female from a village of Kishoregonj, Bangladesh with a proliferative mass in the right parotid region. Surgical excision was done and the specimen was sent for histopathological examination. Although rhinosporidiosis is rare in parotid duct, histopathological diagnosis confirmed the diagnosis.

“…[13] In Sinonasal and nasopharyngeal region, both benign and malignant masses are common. [12] Among 27 cases of benign neoplasms, 13 cases of inverted papilloma were present with characteristic inward trajectory of hyperplastic metaplastic squamous epithelium with underling edematous stroma. [14] Buchwald et al studied 82 patients with sinonasal papillomas diagnosed from 1975 to 1993 histologically and showed 58 cases of inverted papillomas.…”

This is a retrospective observational study of lesions and masses of sinonasal tract and nasopharynx which were received after incisional biopsy or surgical excision. The duration was from May 2011 to April 2016 a total of 5 years. The patients were evaluated on the basis of their chief complaints. Complete ENT examination which included nasal endoscopy and radiological evaluation was done. The study was carried out in collaboration with ENT and oncopathology department. Patient's feedback, clinical history and follow-up were done. Histopathology, microbiological culture, and isolates were also studied. Hematoxylin and eosin (H and E) sections were studied for histopathological review and lesions were subgrouped into non-neoplastic lesion, benign neoplasm, and malignant neoplasm categories. Depending on the morphology ABSTRACTIntroduction: Sinonasal and nasopharyngeal tract masses can be difficult to diagnose as they have unusual diverse morphology and histopathology with anatomic and embryonic distinction and immunohistochemistry (ICH) becomes mandatory for diagnosis. Aims and Objectives: A retrospective observational study of 5 years from 2011 to 2016 till date was conducted at a tertiary care center. Total analyses of 200 cases were done to study the clinical presentation and histomorphology of all sinonasal and nasopharyngeal masses with gender and age distribution and highlightling the entities with rare clinicopathological and histological presentation and study of ICH in these lesions. Results: Out of total 200 cases, 148 (74%) were inflammatory or infective non-tumorous masses and 52 (26%) were neoplastic, out of which 27 (13.5%) were benign and 25 (12.5%), were proven to be of malignant etiology. In benign neoplastic category, unusual entities were juvenile angiofibroma, meningioma, and hemangioma. Among the cases with atypical clinicopathological presentation and unusual entities which required ICH for diagnosis were chordoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, esthesioneuroblastoma, sinonasal adenocarcinoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma, and nasopharyngeal carcinomas. Conclusion: Sinonasal and nasopharyngeal masses are having diverse clinical presentations at different sites having unusual clinical presentation and varied histopathology and the unusual varieties also occur which rare to these locations and should be promptly diagnosed with ICH for early, accurate and optimal treatment.
