A, Magnetic resonance image showing homogenous mass in right sphenoid sinus of patient 1 with a small enhancing rim. The mass is adjacent to the right orbital apex. B, Coronal CT of sphenoid sinus of patient 1 with complete opacification of right sphenoid sinus (reversed for conventional presentation).

Axial CT of sinuses of patient 2 with complete opacification of left maxillary sinus caused by mucoperiosteal thickening. Flocculent calcifications suggest a fungal etiology.

5. Figure 3
Coronal CT of sinus of patient 4 showing opacification of right maxillary and frontal sinuses and right nasal cavity. There is irregular calcification within the nasal mucosa suggesting fungal involvement. Right ethmoid air cells have been resorbed (reversed for conventional presentation).

7. Figure 5
A, Hematoxylin and eosin stain of material from right maxillary sinus of patient 3 showing typical allergic mucin composed of laminated eosinophils, mucus, and cellular debris. Scant hyphae, not shown here, were present in some sections of allergic mucin. (×20) B, Gomori methenamine stain of fungus ball from right maxillary sinus of patient 3 shows dense, matted fungal hyphae with septations. Fungal elements were found immediately adjacent to allergic mucin. (×40)
