Unilateral rhinitis suggests the possibility of nasal obstruction by a foreign body, tumor or polyp. The presence of nasal polyps suggests nonallergic rhinitis with eosinophilia syndrome (NARES), chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps, allergic fungal sinusitis, aspirin hypersensitivity, cystic fibrosis or primary ciliary dyskinesia. Additional details are provided in Chapter 9: Chronic Rhinosinusitis, Nasal Polyps and AERD.

In our cases, the mucin did not contain fungal elements, similar to the case of Kim et al. in Table 15 and in line with other publications that have reported AFS with allergic mucin without fungi.3 Lara and Gomez demonstrated that the clinico-pathological findings of AFS were similar in groups with and without fungi, except that the amount of allergic mucin was greater in the group with fungus.3 This leads to the natural conclusion that allergic mucin can be the result of non-fungal etiologies. They suggested that allergic fungal sinusitis was more appropriately termed allergic mucinous sinusitis or eosinophilic mucinous rhinosinusitis given the fungal negative cases.3

The other main differential diagnosis in this case was invasive fungal sinusitis. It is uncommon for invasive fungal sinusitis to present in an immunocompetent patient. Allergic fungal sinusitis is typically non-invasive but elusive to diagnose due to difficulties associated with culture of fungal isolates from specimens, and the ubiquity of positive fungal PCR in sinusitis and normal controls.16,17
