Invasive aspergillosis of the paranasal sinuses is an uncommon, but well-recognized, form of fungal infection. We describe an elderly female patient with invasive aspergillosis of the sphenoid sinus and associated osteomyelitis of the skull base, with clinical presentation as a pituitary mass. Postoperative gallium scan showed intense uptake in the sphenoid sinus, which resolved after treatment with amphotericin-B. This case demonstrates some of the pathologic and clinical features of invasive aspergillosis and suggests a potential role for gallium-67 imagining in monitoring clinical response to therapy.
