| Core Tip |
Lacrimal sac rhinosporidiosis can rarely present as a chronic discharging fistula. This case report is about a 39-year-old female with a six-year history of epiphora and mucoid discharge from a left lacrimal sac fistula, clinically mimicking chronic dacryocystitis. Surgical exploration revealed a large pedunculated vascular mass, which was confirmed on histopathology as lacrimal sac rhinosporidiosis, and she was treated for nasal extension, remaining recurrence-free over 3 years of follow-up. This case highlights the importance of keeping rhinosporidiosis as a differential for any patient with lacrimal sac area swelling, with or without discharging fistula, particularly if the patient has a history of repeated treatment failures or belongs to an endemic area. Timely surgical intervention can limit the disease’s spread to adjacent organs and provide an excellent prognosis. |
