Oronasal Fistula Due to the Unsuccesful Tooth Extraction 18 Years Ago

The female patient 65 years old presented with an ulcer located in the frontal part of the hard palate. Surgical exploration was performed and tip of the tooth root was found in the area. At the same time, oronasal communication was seen. Patohistological analysis showed subchronic inflammation and Aspergillus hyphae. The patient was immunosuppressed as she suffers from Takayashu syndrome and takes every other day 4 mg of methylprednisolone. We were concerned about finding of Aspergillus hyphe and we took mycological smears which turned out negative for Aspergillus. In this specific case, pathohistological finding of the fungal species was not accurate unlike mycological one.
