Isolated fungus ball in a single cell of the left ethmoid roof: A case report.

BACKGROUND: Isolated fungus ball (FB) in a single cell of the left ethmoid roof is a very rare condition. CASE SUMMARY: We report the case of a 51-year-old female patient whose computed tomography presented a soft tissue mass filling in the left ethmoid roof cell. The patient did not complain of any specific sinonasal symptoms, such as nasal discharge, nasal obstruction, and loss of smell, apart from headache in the left retro-orbital region. CONCLUSION: The patient underwent functional endoscopic sinus surgery under general anesthesia, and the inflammatory material collected was histologically diagnosed as a rare case of a FB in a single cell of the left ethmoid roof.
