Rhinosporidiosis frequently involves the nasal cavity and nasopharynx through transepithelial invasion. Atypical presentations of this disease at other body sites have been reported, including the subcutis, visceral organs, bones, and genitals. Only a few cases of cutaneous and subcutaneous involvement have been reported to date. This chronic granulomatous condition is known for its recurrence following autoinoculation unless the correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment are given. We describe a case of an immunocompetent adult who had undergone fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of mass\u2010like swellings in the right thigh and right calf at another healthcare centre and had been diagnosed with a small round blue cell tumour. FNAC at our centre confirmed a rare case of rhinosporidiosis that was clinically mimicking a soft tissue neoplasm of the lower extremity, and the erroneous interpretation of the prior cytology studies had resulted in misinterpretation of the individually dispersed pathogenic organisms as individual malignant cells. FNAC of rhinosporidiosis can lead to early diagnosis and prompt treatment of this pathogen when it presents at unanticipated body sites.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/cyt.13183","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,26]],"date-time":"2022-09-26T13:30:03Z","timestamp":1664199003000},"page":"77-81","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Disseminated
