description Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic granulomatous infective disease caused by fungi, Rhinosporidium seeberi. It can occur universally, is endemic in India, Sri Lanka and in South Asia, mainly reported from Southern India and Sri Lanka. Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic disease classically involving nose and nasopharynx and presents as a localized polypoid mass. Rhinosporidiosis involving parotid duct is rare. We encountered two cases of rhinosporidiosis at extremely unusual extranasal site-parotid duct, presenting as a cyst without nasal manifestations, which was misdiagnosed clinically and on cytological examination.
