|
Fungal sinusitis is a sinus infection caused by fungal species, most of which are aspergillusspecies. They can be classified mainly into two groups, invasive fungal sinusitis and non-invasivefungal sinusitis. Invasive fungal sinusitis is characterized by fungi not confined to the paranasalsinuses or the nasal cavity but invading the adjacent tissue and bone. Chronic invasivefungal sinusitis is one type of invasive fungal sinusitis and is a relatively rare disease. It caninvade the adjacent sinus bone and tissue for months to years, resulting in bony scleroticchange, formation of mass and bony destruction, which can be mistaken for pseudotumor ormalignant tumor. In this report, we report a case of a patient with chronic invasive fungal sinusitis,which was mimicking sino-nasal malignancy.
