Figure 2. Computed tomographic features of maxillary sinus
fungus ball with intralesional hyperdensity (A), without intralesional
hyperdensity (B), with periodontal bone loss (C), with exogenous dental
filling material (D), with periapical lucency (E), and with penetrating
dental implant (F).
Figure 3. Female-to-male ratio in each decade of age. Female
predominance was seen in the maxillary sinus fungus ball (MSFB) cases,
overall. The female-to-male ratio was highest at 51-60 years (2.02) and
rose to 2.60 in cases of MSFB with intralesional hyperdensity (IH) in
the same range of age. In contrast, female predominance was not seen in
patients without IH on CT scan images. The difference was significant in
the 51-60 and 61-70 years’ groups. *p<0.05,**p<0.01
