Aim: Fine needle aspiration cytology of palpable lumps is a simple, inexpensive diagnostic modality. The aim of presenting this case is to highlight its utility in diagnosis of a patient presenting with multiple subcutaneous nodules. Presentation of Case: We report a case of disseminated rhinosporidiosis diagnosed on fine needle aspiration cytology presenting with swelling in left supraclavicular region and similar swellings over his nose, oral cavity, chest wall, forearm and thigh. Discussion: Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic granulomatous disease of the anterior nares and nasopharynx with polypoidal appearance. Subcutaneous tissue involvement with widespread nodules is extremely rare. Conclusion: Disseminated Rhinosporidiosis is a rare presentation. Cytomorphological findings are distinctive; FNAC serves as a useful tool in early diagnosis and management of these cases.
