Computed tomography-based differential diagnosis of fungus balls in the maxillary sinus

CONCLUSIONMaxillary sinus fungus balls show a higher frequency of calcification and partial opacification with an irregular surface on CT scans compared with maxillary sinusitis and other maxillary sinus lesions. Therefore, calcification and partial opacification with an irregular surface on preoperative CT scans suggest the maxillary sinus fungus ball as the first diagnostic consideration.
