“…Acute and chronic invasive fungal sinusitis often develops as an opportunistic infection in patients with reduced immunity due to the use of adrenocortical steroids, immunosuppressants, antineoplastic agents. It is also easy to become severe when blood is inclined to ketoacidosis due to diabetes or kidney dialysis (1,2). In this study, patients with these general conditions were not included.…”

“…Odontogenic sinusitis primarily results from multiplication of bacteria invading from the mouth or the focus of a dental infection. It is very important to differential diagnosis between fungal sinusitis and odontogenic sinusitis because there have different treatment methods (1)(2)(3)5). However, it is often difficult to differentiate because fungal sinusitis and odontogenic sinusitis also occur unilaterally in the maxillary sinus (6,7).…”

Objectives The purposes of this study were to investigate image findings and clinical symptoms of fungal maxillary sinusitis and odontogenic sinusitis, and to assessment of usefulness of differential diagnosis between fungal maxillary sinusitis and odontogenic sinusitis. Study DesignThe study included 32 patients (16 fungal sinusitis, 16 odontogenic sinusitis) with a confirmed histopathologic diagnosis of fungal sinusitis or odontogenic sinusitis. Computed tomography(CT)images were used to evaluate such as 1)location and shape of mucosal thickening, 2)calcification, 3)osteolysis, 4)osteosclerosis and 5)thickening of bony wall. Moreover, we investigated clinical symptoms of all patients. ResultsThere were significant differences between fungal sinusitis and odontogenic sinusitis in sex difference, shape of mucosal thickening, calcification, osteosclerosis, thickening of bony wall and clinical symptoms. ConclusionsThis study suggested that these findings are useful for differential diagnosis between fungal maxillary sinusitis and odontogenic sinusitis.

“…Patients with LCH may present with otitis media, mastoiditis, pallidum and in the head and neck may cause lymphadenopathy, mucosal lesions, and hearing loss (19). Leprosy is caused by Mycobacterium leprae infection and may cause mucosal ulcerations, lymphadenopathy, and even nasal collapse (20). Fungal GDs include histoplasmosis (Histoplasma capsulatum) and blastomycosis (Blastomyces dermatitidis).…”

“…Both of these entities commonly manifest with sinusitis and polyposis (6,8). Sinonasal sarcoidosis is rare and occurs in about 1% of patients who have systemic sarcoidosis (20). Sarcoid granulomas may cause nodular thickening of the nasal septum (Fig 1) (26,39).…”

Granulomatous diseases have a varied etiology that includes autoimmune, infectious, idiopathic, and hereditary causes. The unifying factor in these diseases is the formation of granulomas, which histologically are mononuclear inflammatory cells or macrophages surrounded by lymphocytes. Granulomatous diseases often have systemic manifestations that affect organs throughout the body. Granulomatous diseases with head and neck manifestations include granulomatosis with polyangiitis, Churg-Strauss syndrome, Behçet disease, chronic granulomatous disease, and sarcoidosis. Infectious causes include tuberculosis, cat-scratch disease, syphilis, leprosy, actinomycosis, rhinoscleroma, and fungal infections. In the head and neck, granulomatous disease may affect the orbits, sinonasal cavities, salivary glands, aerodigestive tract, temporal bone, or skull base. Imaging findings include sinonasal opacification, ocular and other soft-tissue masses, osseous erosion, airway narrowing, lymphadenopathy, and salivary gland infiltration. Vascular involvement may also be evident, with displacement, narrowing, or occlusion of arteries and veins. Some radiologic findings of granulomatous processes have a considerable overlap with findings of malignancy, and a radiologic differential diagnosis inclusive of both is critical to avoid incorrect clinical treatment. Without the benefit of a prior clinical diagnosis, laboratory findings, or suggestive clinical signs and symptoms, granulomatous diseases may be difficult to differentiate radiologically. Although individual granulomatous diseases may have overlapping findings at imaging, certain radiologic findings should prompt the inclusion of granulomatous diseases in the differential diagnosis, thus facilitating appropriate clinical management.
