title: Blastomycosis of the skull base.
abstract: Blastomycosis is usually considered a pulmonary or cutaneous disease. A patient with blastomycosis of the infratemporal fossa temporal bone and sinuses without pulmonary disease is presented. Extensive skull base involvement required surgical debridement for relief of pain, and long-term systemic antifungal therapy. The literature is reviewed and discussed.
