Non-invasive aspergillosis in immunocompetent individuals subsequent to post endodontic treatment can involve
the maxillary antrum. An early and accurate diagnosis will aid in prompt and effective treatment. A 35 year old female patient reported with a painful nasomaxillary swelling. Previous records revealed the failure of the endodontic
treatment of maxillary left second premolar which was subsequently extracted. Root piece was accidently left behind which resulted in a painful nasomaxillary swelling. The extraction socket was curetted and tissue was sent for
histopathological examination, which revealed abundant septate fungal hyphae with numerous spores characteristic
of
Aspergillus
. The patient showed marked improvement in the symptoms with systemic itraconazole at 3 months
follow up and complete resolution occurred within 6 months. Inclusion of aspergilloma infections in the differential
diagnosis is advocated when patients present with post-endodontic nasomaxillary swelling
