Abstract
Different studies have found a 6-9% incidence of allergic fungal sinusitis (AFS) among chronic sinusitis patients requiring
surgery. Invasive rhinosinusitis due to Aspergillus causing nasal polyposis, bony erosion has been reported. Nasal discharge and
nasal obstruction are said to be the commonest presentation. We report the case of a 48-year-old man who presented with
complaints of nasal obstruction and foul-smelling nasal discharge from the past 6 months. He was investigated and found to
have a nasal polyp involving left maxillary sinus and nasal cavity. Plain X-ray showed no bony involvement.
