| Differential Diagnosis | | The differential diagnosis for invasive fungal sinusitis includes an infection with Aspergillus, Rhizopus, Mucorales, Fusarium, and dematiaceous fungi.(1,2). These fungi cause tissue necrosis, vascular thrombosis, and infarction (2). Among these, the most likely fungi are Aspergillus and Rhizopus species.(2) Identification of the organism is made with culture, immunohistochemistry, and in situ hybridization.(2,3) | |
