Abstract

A 67-year-old woman complained of dull pain around the right orbita and temporal headache. She had suffered from rheumatoid arthritis and had been administered corticosteroid hormone.Rhinoscopy revealed no abnormalities. Sinus X-ray findings revealed an increased radioopacity in the right ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses and computerized tomography demonstrated a soft tissue density lesion there.Because of suspicion of mucormycosis, sinusitis or tumor, ethmosphenoidectomy was perfomed by way of the nasal and maxillary sinuses. Tyroid matter in the right ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses was proved to be aspergillus by histopathological examination.
