Aims And Objectives: The aim was to investigate the correlation between histological and culture diagnosis of filamentous fungi.

Materials And Methods: Tissue sections from biopsy samples stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin and special stains from samples of chronic invasive/noninvasive sinusitis and intracranial space occupying lesions during 2005-2011 diagnosed to have infection due to filamentous fungi were reviewed. The histopathology and culture diagnoses were analyzed for correlation and discrepancy.

Background: Dematiaceous fungi appear brown in tissue section due to melanin in their cell walls. When the brown color is not seen on routine H and E and culture is not available, differentiation of dematiaceous fungi from other fungi is difficult on morphology alone.

Aims And Objective: To study if melanin production by dematiaceous fungi can help differentiate them from other types of fungi.
