Pseudoparasitic (Liesegang) bodies in paranasal sinus.
The end product of the Liesegang precipitation phenomenon can produce microscopic bodies that can be and have been mistaken for parasites in human tissues. The Liesegang bodies have been recently described and defined in and about hemorrhagic and cystic lesions of the kidney. The present authors report the first instance of these bodies in the paranasal sinuses.
