ABSTRACT
Anthracosis is a black pigmentation of bronchial mucosa or lung parenchyma induced by inhaled soot. It is most commonly found in those persons who have worked as coal miners. Anthracosis is known to be induced when coal dust remains on the surface of the mucous membranes after it is inhaled through the bronchi, which can cause changes or atrophy of the upper airway and abnormality of the self-purification function and it can disrupt the defensive reaction of the respiratory organs. To our knowledge, there has been no report of recurrent paranasal sinusitis caused by anthracosis. Herein, with a review of the literature, we report a rare case of paranasal sinusitis caused by anthracosis in a 51-year-old man.
