Abstract
Histopathological examination forms the basis of diagnosis, classification, and management of invasive fungal rhinosinusitis [1, 2]. In cases where fungal infection is suspected on clinical grounds, demonstration of fungal elements should be sufficient to start treatment, but histopathological examination is necessary to confirm the diagnosis of “invasive” fungal infection and to properly classify the fungal disease for further management.
