ABSTRACT

La rinosporidiosis ocular es una enfermedad muy poco común, causada por el parásito Rhinosporidium seeberi, la cual afecta diferentes órganos, entre ellos la conjuntiva. Debido a su poca frecuencia, es a menudo subdiagnosticada por oftalmólogos y patólogos. Se presentan tres casos que cumplieron con los criterios histológicos de la enfermedad y se revisan las características clínicas e histopatológicas de la misma.


Ocular rhinosporidiosis is a very rare disease, caused by the parasite Rhinosporidium seeberi, which affects different organs including the conjunctiva. Because of its rarity is often underdiagnosed by ophthalmologists and pathologists. We present three cases that fulfilled the histological criteria of the disease and reviewed its clinical and pathological characteristics.
