RESUMO
Cutaneous lesions as a manifestation of histoplasmosis, primarily a disease of the respiratory system, are rare and most commonly appear secondary to progressive dissemination. A patient with documented progressive, disseminated histoplasmosis, having been treated previously with amphotericin B, presented on a second occasion with cutaneous lesions as the chief complaint. Biopsy and cultures of these lesions were positive for Histoplasma capsulatum. A review of the English literature revealed only 7 reported cases of secondary skin histoplasmosis in the past 20 years. All patients, including the current one, either had diseases associated with depressed immunity or were receiving steroid therapy.
