ABSTRACT

Ectopic eruption of a tooth into dental structures is a common entity whereas ectopic eruption of a tooth in other sites is uncommon. Only few cases of ectopic tooth eruption in the maxillary sinus have been reported due to its rarity. A fungal ball usually occurs in the maxillary sinus and it is relatively common disease. However it is rare ectopic tooth and fungal sinusitis occur simultaneously. We report a case of patient presenting with a history of nasal obstruction and purulent rhinorrhea, who was found to have a tooth structure in fungal ball of maxillary sinus.
