Rhinosporidiosis, which is a chronic fungal granulomatous disease, is caused by Rhinosporidium seeberi, a protistal microbe. It is a disease affecting primarily the mucosa of nose, conjunctiva and urethra. We are reporting an extremely rare case of tracheal rhinosporidiosis from the northern part of the Indian subcontinent which presented to us as case of respiratory stridor with hemoptysis and was properly investigated following which complete excision of the tracheal mass was done by bronchoscopy.
