[Invasive aspergillosis of the head and neck].
Aspergillosis of the paranasal sinuses after invasion of the neighbouring orbit and/or the sella turcica may simulate a malignant tumour. Exploratory excisions usually lead to the diagnosis of a chronic sinusitis. With the aid of special staining methods as well as cultural and serological tests the diagnosis of an aspergilloma can be established.
