An unexpected guest: First report of Tintelnotia destructans as an agent of maxillary fungus ball.

Fungal rhinosinusal infections comprise several nosological entities, including sinus fungus ball. Diagnosis of sinus fungus ball relies on patient interrogation and clinical and paraclinical findings. Mold species commonly involved include Aspergillus, as well as dematiaceous fungi. Nevertheless, thanks to improvements in fungal culture and species level identification in clinical settings, new species are continuously described as agents in rhinosinusal infections. We present the first report of Tintelnotia destructans causing maxillary sinus fungus ball in a female patient.
