Rhinophycomycosis, a rare fungal infection, presents with characteristic sinus lesions. Prompt treatment with antifungals and potassium iodide yielded significant, lasting results in four patients.

Area of Science:

Mycology
Dermatology
Otolaryngology

Background:

Rhinophycomycosis is an uncommon granulomatous fungal infection affecting the paranasal sinuses.
Distinguishing it from other granulomatous lesions is crucial for effective management.

Observation:

Four cases of rhinophycomycosis are presented.
Clinical, radiological, and histopathological features are detailed.
Lesions consistently originated in the nasal vestibule and ala.

Findings:

The study details characteristic clinical, radiological, and histopathological findings of rhinophycomycosis.
All four cases showed a dramatic and sustained therapeutic response.
Effective treatments included potassium iodide, ketoconazole, and fluconazole.

Implications:

Early recognition and diagnosis of rhinophycomycosis are essential.
The presented cases highlight successful treatment protocols.
This study contributes to understanding the management of this rare fungal infection.
