The fungal mass, or mycetoma of paranasal sinuses, is a non-invasive and mainly unilateral form of fungal rhinosinusitis without submucous tissue involvement. Two clinical cases of large fungal masses in the paranasal sinus and the nasal cavity are presented in the article; their endoscopic removal is described in detail. The clinical symptoms of fungal body in sinuses are not specific. Unilateral localization and large sizes of fungal masses presumes the necessity of differentiation from neoplasms. The most informative non-invasive method for the diagnosis of nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses mycetoma is computed tomography.
Key words: fungal body, mycetoma, nasal neoplasm, endoscopic rhinosinusosurgery.
