Abstract
CT findings of 3 cases of the fungal infection of the maxillary sinuses were reported in relation to the operative findings. The characteristic features of CT findings were the intermixture of the high density area with the low density area in the affected sided maxillary sinuses.
Histopathological examinations of the 3 cases showed the fungus filament and the calcification of the mass in the sinuses. One of the cases with marked calcification showed the high density image which looked like the caliculi by the CT.
The high density area of the CT finding in the maxillary sinus appeares to be caused by the increased X-ray absorption due to the calcification.
