Invasive aspergillosis of the paranasal sinuses is a rare and often misdiagnosed disease. This study reported a case of max- illary aspergillosis with a complete  headache and eye pain after tooth extraction with a large abscess in the relative jaw. Tenderness in the right temporal, lower jaw numbness and right eye proptosis was found. Histopathological examination was the suggestion of maxillary sinusitis with a fungal ball of aspergillus.

We report a third case of an unusual malignant neoplasm of the paranasal sinuses in a 60-year-old woman. Similar cases have been previously reported and called malignant teratoma. In consultation with Ackerman (written communication, February 1976) we propose the term “teratocarcinoma” and believe this is to be a more descriptive term and less likely to be confused with the generic term “teratoma,” which is a benign tumor.

AbstractSurgery remains the treatment of choice for mycetoma of the paranasal sinuses. Itraconazole has a useful role in reducing both the amount of surgery required and the amount of peri-operative bleeding in allergic aspergillosis, and continuing its use post-operatively for six weeks appears to reduce the recurrence rate (although a case–control study is required to validate this observation). In chronic invasive aspergillosis, itraconazole alone appears to be curative, although liver function tests should be monitored and other interactions considered. Imaging is required to monitor resolution; remineralisation occurs after approximately six months. In fulminant aspergillosis, radical surgery and amphotericin B continue to be the treatments of choice. This review discusses the management of aspergillosis of the paranasal sinuses, and in particular the role of itraconazole antifungal therapy.

Abstract The orbit is involved in 10% of all lymphomas. Paranasal sinuses and nose are other sites for extranodal lymphoma that are involved in upto 2.6 to 6.7% of lymphomas involving head and neck region and are second most common presentation of extranodal lymphoma. In nearly 22.5% of patients, sinonasal lymphoma and orbital lymphoma may coexist. The present report describes such patient with first presentation to an ophthalmologist with an attempt to review the present literature of coexistent orbital and paranasal sinuses lymphoma.
