Abstract

Aspergillosis is a rare disease that often occurs in patients with diabetes mellitus or compromised hosts. This study describes a 60-years-old woman with unusual pseudo-malignant paranasal invasive aspergillosis with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) uptake treated by endoscopic sinus surgery. To the best of our knowledge, there are few reported cases of paranasal fungal infection with 18F-FDG uptake.
