AB  - With  increased  recognition  over  the  past  30  years,  fungal  rhinosinusitis  (FRS)  represents  a  heterogeneous  group  of  disorders  whose  manifestation  depends  on  host  immunologic  function  and  fungus-specific  factors.The  first  known  case  of  fungal  sinusitis  by  Plaignaud  in  1791  reported  a  22-year-old  solider  with  maxillary  pain  and  “fungal  tumor.”Initial  diagnostic  focus  on  the  causative  organism  led  to  widely  used  terms:  “aspergillosis,”  “mucormycosis,”  or  “zygomycosis.”  Modern  classification  schema  relies  more  on  disease  characteristics  than  fungal  speciation.Detailed  understanding  of  the  mycology  remains  important  in  the  diagnosis  and  treatment  of  FRS.Modern  endoscopy  and  imaging  modalities  have  allowed  for  the  development  of  contemporary  diagnostic  criteria  and  targeted  surgical  treatment.
