Despite the fact that allergic fungal sinusitis is the most common fungal disease of the paranasal sinuses, it is not well known among physicians and pathologists and therefore underrepresented within the diagnoses of paranasal infections. The term "aspergilloma" is imprecise and does not represent a clear diagnosis. A further differentiation in "fungus ball" (without invasion) and "invasive sinonasal mycosis" is required. The three groups of fungal-related sinusitis occur at different ages. Allergic fungal sinusitis is common among young adults. An immunocompromising condition is a prerequisite for an invasive sinonasal mycosis.
