Paranasal sinus fungus balls occur usually in single sinus, most frequently the maxillary sinus. Multisinus localization was found only 6% in the largest review of this disease entity. Even multiple sinuses involved, these sinuses were mostly contiguous. Bilateral involvement was rare in the literature. Nevertheless, there has never been a report of three discrete sinus fungus balls in the same patient. This report represents the first case of the paranasal sinus fungus balls presenting in triple discrete sinuses at once.
鼻窦真菌球通常发生于单个鼻窦，最常见于上颌窦。在关于该疾病实体的最大规模综述中，多鼻窦受累情况仅占6%。即便多个鼻窦受累，这些鼻窦大多是相邻的。双侧受累在文献中较为罕见。然而，同一患者出现三个不连续鼻窦真菌球的情况从未有过报道。本报告首次呈现了一例同时出现于三个不连续鼻窦的鼻窦真菌球病例。
