title: A pseudo tumoral sinusitis caused by Bipolaris sp.
abstract: This is the first published French case of a rhinosinusitis caused by Bipolaris sp. in an immunocompetent patient and suggests that this organism must be considered as an opportunistic human pathogen in warm and damp climate like the south-east of France. Bipolaris sp. is the most isolated fungi in allergic fungal sinusitis.
