Abstract

Aspergillosis of the paranasal sinuses is uncommon; however, its incidence in recent years has shown a marked increase, and it is believed that it may account for a number of cases of nonspecific sinusitis. It may present in one of four forms, one of which is the noninvasive Aspergillus mycetoma. One such case affecting the maxillary sinus is reported, and reference is made to its possible sequelae and management. The significance of its presentation as a radiodense focus within the antrum on plain radiographs and computed tomography is discussed, as is the use of magnetic resonance imaging for excluding aspergillosis from the differential diagnosis.
