Abstract

This is a case report of invasive aspergillosis of the right maxillary antrum and the left lung in a 43 year-old male patient with diabetes mellitus and liver cirrhosis. The results were as follows. 1. Invasive aspergilliosis should be considered in compromised patients who have nasal symptomatology, infraorbital swelling and pain. 2. Invasive aspergillosis is a rapidly progressive mycotic infection of the sinus which may extend to the orbit, nasal cavity and cheek. 3. Surgical intervention is particularly urgent in orbital aspergillosis in patient in whom the eyesight is still preserved. 4. Diagnosis depends upon pathological demonstration of tissue invasion by organism with the typical morphology of aspergillus species. 5. Long-term antifungal drugs should be administrated postoperatively in pathint with invasive aspergillosis.
