KOREASCHOLAR

This infection includes an allergic bronchial reaction, an aspergilloma, and an invasive aspergillosis, which is more common in immunosuppressed patients and presents as multiorgan disease. The maxillary sinus is a relatively common site for formation of an aspergilloma where it forms around a nexus of foreign body. It has been indicated that the foreign body containing zinc extruded into the maxillary sinus has the potential to become infected and form an aspergilloma. The treatment of this disease is radical surgery and adjunctive systemic antifungal therapy. This is a case report of solitary aspergillosis of the right maxillary sinus. We experienced a case of right maxillary sinus aspergillosis in a 37 years old male who has dull pain on right temporal and zygoma area. We reported a case with review of literature
