篩骨洞真菌症の1例

A Case of Mucormycosis of Ethmoid Sinus

I．はじめに

　近年臨床各領域における真菌症例の増加に伴いこの方面への関心も次第に高まってきた。

　私たちは左視力障害，眼球突出を訴え，X線像およびCT所見から左篩骨洞腫瘍が疑われ，開洞によって篩骨洞ムコール症と判明した症例を経験したのでここに報告し，あわせて文献的考察を行った。

　A 68-year-old femal complained of visual disturbance and left exophthalmus with a history of diabetes mellitus, hypertension and cardiomegaly. As malignancy in the left ethmoid sinus was suspected by the findings of radiology and computerized tomography, external ethmoidectomy was performed for open biopsy. The histological findings showed mucormycosis of the left ethmoid cells.

　Discussion on mycotic infection of the paranasal sinuses was carried out.
