Area of Science:

  • Medical Mycology
  • Tropical Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Rhinosporidiosis is a rare chronic granulomatous disease caused by *Rhinosporidium seeberi*.
  • The disease primarily affects the mucous membranes of the nose and eyes.
  • Limited data exists on rhinosporidiosis epidemiology in Nigeria.

Observation:

  • A 16-year-old female presented with recurrent nasal polyps.
  • The patient was initially diagnosed and treated in Zaria, northern Nigeria.
  • Diagnosis was confirmed via microscopy and histology due to culture difficulties.

Findings:

  • This represents the first reported case of rhinosporidiosis in Ibadan, Nigeria.
  • The case illustrates the potential for recurrence even after surgical intervention (polypectomy).
  • The patient's origin from northern Nigeria links to the country's initial reported case.
