Abstract
- We report the case of an immunocompetent, 39 year old male who presented with diplopia and diffuse headache. The CT scan demonstrated the presence of a sizeable mass that took over the nasal cavity, the right maxillary sinus, the sphenoid and ethmoid sinus, extending to the sellar and suprasellar region, and eroding the adjacent bones. The patient also underwent MRI and endoscopic sinus surgery. Biopsy of the suspected tissue for pathology and culture demonstrated Aspergillus fumigatus.
