Rare infections of nose and paranasal sinuses.

P L Bhatia, John Obafunwa

Open publisher page 5 citations

Abstract

Two cases of fungal infection of the nose and paranasal sinuses by rhinophycomycosis and actinomycosis are reported. The clinical diagnoses in both cases were wrong and in one of them, a malignancy was suspected. These cases are the first to be reported from Central Nigeria. The authors feel that fungal granuloma should be included on the differential diagnoses list for patients with swellings of the nose and paranasal sinuses in this environment.
