Notes:
Sclerotial ( A left) and non-sclerotial (B right) A. lanosus strains produce bright yellow, floccose mycelia. Sclerotial strains produce small numbers of large, fused sclerotial bodies in discrete pockets hidden within the mycelium.
(C) Conidiophores of all the California A. lanosus isolates examined were branched (arrow, left panel), consistent with the species description by Kamal and Bhargava.
1 Axial computed tomography (CT) scans of the frontal sinus.
A: due to the long lasting pressure of mucus, the bone of the anterior wall of frontal sinus is thinned out and elevated anteriorly, forming a bulge. B: same situation as depicted in fig A: the posterior bony wall of frontal sinus is thinned out and extremely elevated posteriorly towards the frontal lobe of the brain. As depicted on the scan, a thin bony layer covering the dura could be recognized intraoperatively
