Aspergilloma of the maxillary sinus is considered rare in immunocompetent patients, but a considerable increase has recently been seen in the incidence of reported cases. Dental procedures involving the antral region are thought to predispose individuals to this form of aspergillosis. Because aspergilloma shares similar clinical features with other sinus pathologies, its diagnosis may be delayed. Thus, an early diagnosis confirmed by a histopathological examination plays a crucial role in the adequate management of aspergilloma. This article provides a concise review of the reported cases of aspergilloma associated with dental procedures and reports 2 new cases of aspergilloma in middle-aged female patients, with a presentation of their cone-beam computed tomographic findings.
上颌窦曲霉菌球在免疫功能正常的患者中被认为较为罕见，但最近报告病例的发病率有了显著增加。涉及上颌窦区域的牙科手术被认为会使个体易患这种曲霉菌病。由于曲霉菌球与其他鼻窦病变具有相似的临床特征，其诊断可能会延迟。因此，通过组织病理学检查确诊的早期诊断在曲霉菌球的适当管理中起着关键作用。本文简要回顾了与牙科手术相关的曲霉菌球报告病例，并报告了2例中年女性患者的曲霉菌球新病例，并展示了其锥形束计算机断层扫描结果。
