“…Fungal balls of the paranasal sinuses are a non-invasive form of fungal rhinosinusitis, characterized mainly by a unilateral lesion, without involving the underlying mucosa in the inflammatory process. (1) The main clinical manifestations, such as nasal congestion, mucopurulent discharge or bleeding, and headache, are not specific and are found in many diseases of paranasal sinuses. (2) The most informative non-invasive diagnostic methods are computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).…”

Two cases of a large fungal ball of the paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity are presented and its removal via an endoscopic approach is detailed. The clinical symptoms of the fungal body of the paranasal sinuses are not specific. With one-sided localization and large sizes of fungal bodies, they must be differentiated from neoplasms. The most informative non-invasive diagnostic method is computed tomography. We are presenting two cases of giant fungal bodies of the paranasal sinuses and identified specific CT signs.

“…The most aggressive form of fungal sinusitis is AIFS, or fulminant fungal sinusitis , which afflicts severely immunocompromised patients, classically those with hematogenous malignancies or diabetics in ketoacidosis, or those undergoing transplantation . Although there are numerous cases of AIFS occurring in immunocompetent individuals, these individuals often had associated local predisposing trauma such as sinus and root canal surgery .…”

Conversion to Chronic Invasive Fungal Sinusitis From Allergic Fungal Sinusitis in Immunocompetence

A review of the treatment of allergic and invasive fungal sinusitis, as well as a presentation of the first recorded case of a conversion from allergic fungal sinusitis (AFS) to chronic granulomatous invasive sinusitis and the fourth case of invasive fungal sinusitis associated with Curvularia. This immunocompetent patient suffering from chronic AFS converted after repeated high-dose steroid tapers and noncompliance. AFS may present atypically and should be suspected even in immunocompetent patients with sinus disease who report new onset pain and neurologic symptoms. Clinicians should consider the potential complications associated with repeated systemic steroid administration.

“…The differential of the clinical presentation of a yellowish-green nasal discharge and gradual painless proptosis include chronic sino-nasal fungal infection [12] [13]. Although, mycology studies were not carried out on the excised tissue, the histopathological examination did not show typical features suggestive of fungal disease such as the presence of granulomas with refractile fungal hyphae and spores.…”

Sinonasal Squamous Papilloma with Orbital Infiltration in an Elderly Nigerian Female, Unusual Presentation of an Uncommon Tumor: A Case Report

Squamous papillomas are squamous-derived growths commonly arising from the oral cavity and oropharynx. A 75-year-old woman presented with chronic persistent left nasal obstruction and gradual painless non-axial proptosis with loss of vision in the left eye. Computed tomography scan showed an iso-dense lesion filling the frontal, left ethmoidal and sphenoidal sinuses, and the nasal cavity, with extension into the left orbit. She underwent surgical tumor resection with orbital exenteration and histology revealed features of an aggressive hyperkeratotic squamous papilloma arising from the sino-nasal region. Although squamous papillomas have been natively associated with the oral cavity and oropharynx, they present less frequently as sino-nasal tumors with orbital invasion.
