A 47-year-old man was refered to us because of maxillary sinusitis associated with homogenous radiopague images in both maxillary sinuses on panoramic X-ray film obtained at another hospital. Computed tomography suggested that the high density images in the maxillary sinus were calcification associated with aspergillosis infection. As aspergillosis was detected on direct microscopy and fungal culture of specimens taken at sinus surgery and studied by histopathological staining, the lesion was diagnosed as non-invasive aspergillosis of both maxillary sinuses. The route of infection was suspected to be animal feed.
