RESUMO
The authors describe a rare case of an infection of both the chromomycosis and aspergillosis of the maxillary sinus in an immunocompetent 72-year-old female who presented with progressive visual loss and dull aching pain of the left eye. Sinuscopy of the left maxillary sinus showed swelling of the mucosa with clay-like materials. Biopsy from the left maxillary sinus showed the typically characteristic morphology of chromomycosis and culture from sinus tissue which yielded Aspergillus. The patient responded to a combination therapy of surgical excision and antifungal agent.
