Abstract
A revision was made of the archives of the Universidad de Antioquia's Pathology Departement in the San Vicente de Paul University Hospital, to determine the frequency of rhinosporidiosis in the years 1994 – 1995 Among 398.268 existing pathology reports, 10 were found with a diagnosis of the rhinosporidiosis based on histologic criteria. The most cornmon localization of this micosis was nasal (7 cases), followed by the conjuctiva (3 cases). The majority of patients were male (9 cases). Age ranged between 7 and 54 years.
