Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic granulomatous infection caused by the fungus-like organism Rhinosporidium seebrii most commonly in the nasal cavity, followed by ocular and cutaneous lesions. The following case is of a 45-year-old female who presented to the laboratory with a pedunculated mass which on histopathology revealed a typical sporangium with numerous endospores. The report provides an insight into the clinical suspicion that needs to be kept while handling such cases.

Usually, schwannomas are presented intracranially. Intraorbital schwannomas' incidence is as low as 1-2% of all orbital tumors. Abducens nerve schwannoma in the orbit originating from the terminal branches which supply to the lateral rectus is extremely rare. A 45-year-old lady presented with painful proptosis of 10 mm with no extraocular muscle movement restriction. She underwent lateral orbitotomy with excision biopsy and was histopathologically diagnosed as schwannoma. On follow-up, she had total recovery of the abducens nerve.
