Unilateral Concomitant Antrochoanal Polyp and Fungus Ball in Maxillary Sinus: A Case Report

Antrochoanal polyp (ACP) are benign lesions that arise from the maxillary sinus, grow into the maxillary sinus, and reach the choana, nasal obstruction being their main symptom.

description Antrochoanal polyp (ACP) are benign lesions that arise from the maxillary sinus, grow into the maxillary sinus, and reach the choana, nasal obstruction being their main symptom. A fungal ball (FB) is a dense accumulation of extra mucosal fungal hyphae, usually within one sinus, most commonly the maxillary sinus. We describe a case of a 38-year-old male with a concomitant unilateral maxillary FB and ACP which was surgically excised by endoscopic sinus surgery.
