Nasal obstruction is an important clinical complaint in the adolescent age group and may lead to several early and late sinonasal complications. Rhinosporidiosis, an endemic disease of the Southern part of India, is an important differential diagnosis of nasal obstruction. Its causal organism is Rhinosporidium seeberi fungus. The condition involves the mucosa of the nose, nasal septum, middle nasal turbinate, and floor. Surgical excision of the lesion is the preferred treatment. The authors have described a case of paediatric nasal rhinosporidiosis in Northern India where the incidence is relatively low, and hence there are more chances of missing the diagnosis on clinical examination.

Introduction: Scrotal calcinosis is a rare benign condition. There are usually a few symptoms and the impact is mainly functional and aesthetic. Insoluble calcium salts build up in the skin or superficial soft tissue.
Case Report: A 33-year-old male patient came with complaints of multiple scrotal nodules. Preliminary examination showed multiple such nodules measuring 2–4 cm in diameter.
Conclusion: Epidermoid cyst, scrotal calcinosis, and scrotal abscess were all considered clinically as differential diagnoses. Histopathological examination helped to reach a final diagnosis of scrotal calcinosis which is a rare benign condition.
