[Pseudo-tumoral aspergillus rhinosinusitis: About two cases]

Abstract

Introduction: Pseudo-tumoral fongal rhinosinusitis is a rare and benign illness due to saprophyte germ, Aspergillus flavus.

Observation: We reported two cases of invasive pseudo-tumoral fongal rhinosinusitis. CT scan helped with diagnosis and allowed for extension assessment. Complete surgical excision was done through external approach. Bacteriological examination evidenced the germ.

Discussion: Pseudo-tumoral invasive fongal rhinosinusitis remains a potentially serious pathology because of its local aggressiveness and its multiple extensions.
