| Title | Invasive paranasal mucormycosis with peripheral eosinophilia in an immunocompetent patient. | | Author(s) | Kim DW, Heo ST, Jeon SY, Kim JY, Lim MH, Bae IG, Yang JW, Lee JS | | Institution | Departments of Otorhinolaryngology. | | Source | Med Mycol 2009 Aug 7.:1-4. | | Abstract | A 53-year-old healthy patient was admitted with unilateral nasal obstruction of one month duration which was suspected to be a malignancy because of mass-like finding on radiology and peripheral eosinophilia. The biopsy of the involved sinus showed tissue invasion by aseptate hyphae suggestive of a zygomycete and tissue infiltration of eosinophilia. He was diagnosed as invasive paranasal mucomycosis and treated with complete endoscopic sinus surgery and amphotericin B deoxycholate. Paranasal symptoms with peripheral eosinophilia might be a presentation of invasive fungal sinusitis. | | Language | ENG | | Pub Type(s) | JOURNAL ARTICLE
