ABSTRACT
Human infections due to Aspergillosis Fungi are unusual and occur preferentially in defenseless patients. Nonetheless, our patient, a seed-shop owner, was not immuno-depressed and became infected by inhaling or chewing the seeds. Moreover, the aspergillosis was situated in the sphenoidal sinus, which is extremely unusual. In fact, the initial pseudo tumoral and misleading appearance justified a surgical biopsy which revealed a black "truffle" suggestive of aspergillosis and was confirmed by anatomo-pathology.
