Abstract Rhinosporidiosis is reviewed, and the first autochthonous case in Spain is presented (site: in the nasal cavity of a 19-year-old male from a rural background). Diagnosis was established morphologically after eliminating the possibilities of Cryptococcus neoformans, Coccidioides immitis, and Chrysosporium crescens. Clinico-pathological features are described. Preparations were stained with hematoxylin-eosin, PAS, and methenamine silver, and studied for fluorescence. Certain aspects of the epidemiology and diagnosis are commented upon.
