A cross sectional study carried out with patients having
suspected paranasal sinus (PNS) mass during January 2009
to October 2010 to evaluate the fungal diseases in PNS by
computed tomographic(CT) image and comparison of the
findings of this modality with histopathological result.
Among the total 76 patients, the mean age of the patients
was 35.95 ± 18.24 and common complaints of the patients
were nasal obstruction (73.7%) and maximum 53.9%
patients had PNS mass in maxillary sinuses. Out of all cases
10 were diagnosed as having fungal infection/mass by CT
scan and confirmed by histopathological evaluation. Two
cases were diagnosed as having fungal infection/mass by
CT scan but not confirmed by histopathological findings.
