Abstract
- Actinomycosis commonly occurs in the cervicofacial region, but rarely in the paranasal sinus. The authors report an unusual case of nasal septum actinomycosis that was mistaken for a mucocele. The patient was treated accordingly using antibiotic therapy after endoscopic sinus surgery was performed. It is noteworthy that actinomycosis of the nasal septum could appear as a mucocele without central calcification or bony destruction in imaging studies.
