ABSTRACT: A 50-year-old woman with long standing nonspecific
disturbing headaches of the mid-face and rear of the head plus retro-orbital
pain for about one year duration was proved to suffer from the fungus ball
involvement of the left sphenoid sinus after operation. The diagnosis was
established by histopathologic examination of the specimen removed at the time of
operation.
