Abstract
ABSTRACT
The enlargement of the middle concha as a pneumatized cavity is defined as concha bullosa. Concha bullosa is one of the most frequently encountered anatomic variations inside the nose. Polyps, submucous cysts, ossifying fibromas and pyoceles have been found in concha bullosa. This is a case report where fungal mass was seen inside the concha bullosa. Clinicians should be aware that a chronic rhinosinusitis that is unresponsive to normal management with a hyper dense focus is highly suggestive of fungal ball.
