【 摘 要 】

Aspergillus is a filamentous fungus generally acquired after inhalation of airborne spores. It can lead to a variety of diseases in the sinus cavities, including invasive fungal rhinosinusitis and fungus ball. Fungus balls are a noninvasive accumulation of a dense conglomeration of fungal mycelia, inflammatory cells, fibrin, mucus, and tissue debris; they usually develop in body cavities such as the paranasal sinus1 and lung cavities.2Aspergillus fumigatus is the most commonly found species.3.
