Abstract:
Two distinct cases of maxillary actinomycosis and maxillary candidosis in immunocompetent hosts are reported; These infections are rare and similar to mycotic extramucosal non allergic sinusitis. Microbiology and microscopic examination are mandatory to prompt and successful management. Endoscopic endonasal surgery by middle meatotomy seems to be an adequate treatment for these particular entities.
