ABSTRACT
Two cases of chronic invasive fungal rhinosinusitis were reported. One patient healed while another died with suspicious residual fungal infection. The clinical symptoms of infratemporal fungal infection include maxillofacial pain, with or without fever. Acute or chronic inflammation of soft tissue could be revealed pathologically. Proof of pathogen may not be found in histopathological slice while serological detection may reveal positive evidence. Surgical resection, good drainage and postoperative antifungal therapy could cure or promptly relieve the symptoms of the disease.
