- W4384407795 abstract "Fungal rhinosinusitis (FRS) is a relatively common, but often misdiagnosed disease of paranasal sinuses. The FRS is classified into invasive and non-invasive forms. The non-invasive form includes fungal ball and allergic FRS, and invasive form includes acute invasive FRS, chronic invasive FRS, and granulomatous FRS. Invasive fungal infections are associated with high morbidity and mortality, hence requiring urgent medical and surgical intervention. The histomorphology can help identify certain fungal organisms that cannot be cultured or are rarely visible in exudates. The morphologic diagnosis of tissue invasive and non-invasive fungal infection is essential for appropriate treatment. We analyzed cases of rhinosinusitis from 2017 to 2019 in Pathology Department at a tertiary care cancer hospital, Lahore, Pakistan. All clinical information was retrieved from patient records. Paraffin-embedded tissue blocks were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), special Grocott methenamine silver stain (GMS), and periodic acid Schiff stain (PAS) according to standard protocol. They were reviewed by two pathologists blinded by fungus status. A total of 169 cases of rhinosinusitis were reviewed. FRS comprised 146 (86.4%) of them. The mean age of patients with FRS was 32.8±14 years. The male:female ratio was 1.4:1. Maxillary sinus was the main site of involvement in 39 (27%) FRS cases. Aspergillus was identified in 117 (80.1%) cases of FRS. The culture reports were available in 44/146 (30.14%) FRS cases. They were negative in 22/44 (50.0%), and Aspergillus species were isolated in 18/44 (40.9%) cases of FRS. There were 84 (57.5%) cases of non-invasive FRS and 59 (40.4%) cases of invasive FRS. Among invasive FRS, there were 56 (38.4%) chronic granulomatous FRS cases including mixed patterns. Majority cases, 54 (96.4%), of chronic granulomatous FRS showed a unique crowded giant cell pattern comprising of foreign body and Langhans type giant cells. These giant cells were arranged closely forming irregular non-caseating granulomas surrounded by lymphocytes and fibrosis. Interestingly, the giant cells were scattered haphazardly without forming a granuloma as well. Fungal organisms were identified in all 56 cases of chronic granulomatous FRS. Histologically, predominant organism was Aspergillus in 48 (85.7%) on GMS and PAS stain. Our study observed a unique crowded giant cell pattern, which is a hallmark of invasive fungal infection. If pathologists are familiar with this unique pattern, they can make a quick and accurate diagnosis on histology. The physician can start antifungal treatment timely for better prognosis." @default.
