| Popis: |
Aspergilloma of the paranasal sinus is a non-invasive form of aspergillosis. We report a 50 year old female with chief complaints of swelling in left infra orbital area without involving maxillary sinus. Computed tomography revealed enlarged infraorbital nerve foramen with clear left maxillary sinus. Microscopy of the excised mass showed, numerous fungal hyphae, which branch at acute angle consistent with features of aspergilloma. Early diagnosis and treatment is important in aspergilloma. Since the symptom is usually nonspecific, radiographic study is nonspecific; excision biopsy should be performed for all cases. |
