Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Pseudo-tumoral fongal rhinosinusitis is a rare and benign illness due to saprophyte germ, Aspergillus flavus.
OBSERVATION
We reported two cases of invasive pseudo-tumoral fongal rhinosinusitis. CT scan helped with diagnosis and allowed for extension assessment. Complete surgical excision was done through external approach. Bacteriological examination evidenced the germ.
DISCUSSION
Pseudo-tumoral invasive fongal rhinosinusitis remains a potentially serious pathology because of its local aggressiveness and its multiple extensions.
