ABSTRACT

Histoplasma capsulatum (HC) infection is rare in India. We document a case of unilateral adrenal histoplasmosis in a 56 year male. The patient presented with hepatosplenomegaly, unilateral adrenal mass and significant weight loss. Since FNAC of adrenal mass was inconclusive, he underwent splenectomy, adrenalectomy and liver biopsy, histology of these specimens revealed HC only in adrenal mass. Subsequently, histoplasmin test was also performed which was also found to be positive. He responded well to parenteral amphotericin B and is under regular follow-up with no complaints now.
