[Analysis of 16 cases with aggressive fungal maxillary sinusitis].
OBJECTIVE
To improve the diagnosis and treatment level of aggressive fungal maxillary sinusitis.


METHODS
16 cases were diagnosed with CT. Caldwell-Luc's surgery was done in 13 cases and Lima surgery in 3 cases. None of them were treated by antifungal agents.


RESULTS
It showed osteolytic damage with bony defect which was different from expanded bony defect caused by benign tumor, but similar to malignant tumor. No recurrence occurred as followed from 6 months to 2 years.


CONCLUSIONS
Computed tomography is very important in its diagnosis. Early explorative operation is useful in making definite diagnosis.
