ABSTRACT
Nasal rhinosporidiosis is a rare chronic granulomatous disease that is
caused by Rhinosporidium seeberi. It affects the mucous membrane of
various sites such as nasopharynx, conjunctiva and palate. Inverted
papillomas are relatively rare, benign epithelial tumors of the nasal
cavity that are locally aggressive, have recurrence tendency and undergo
malignant transformation. Both entities are very rare in our setting and
this is perhaps the first documented case in Tanzania.
