Chronic invasive fungal sinusitis mimicking pseudotumor: A case report

Abstract

Fungal sinusitis encompasses a wide range of diseases, including both invasive and noninvasive, acute, and chronic forms. The incidence of invasive sinusitis is on the rise, primarily affecting immunocompromised individuals and diabetics. This case report highlights a patient who developed invasive fungal sinusitis despite no other apparent cause of immunosuppression. Imaging studies suggested the diagnosis, confirmed by presence of Aspergillus flavus on mycological culture.
