is a ubiquitous organism present in the environment and is rarely identified in rhinosinusitis. We report a case of invasive rhinosinusitis with which made a definite diagnosis by metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) from a biopsy sample. The resection of the pathological mass was performed with low-temperature plasma radiofrequency ablation. Six months of continuous oral voriconazole treatment was followed. The patient was asymptomatic with no signs of recurrence during the next 1-year follow-up.
