چکیده
We submit the case of an 11-year-old boy under treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, who presented with fever, headache and nasal congestion. Due to the persistence of the symptoms, he received a computed tomography (CT) scan of the nasal sinus, revealing the existence of pansinusitis. Incidentally, a space-occupying bone lesion, hyperdense in the inferior turbinate, was identified (Figs. 1 and 2).
