Histoplasmosis of the larynx

JohnM Carter, Kelsey Jackson Williams, BrianA Moore

Abstract

Histoplasmosis is an infection caused by the fungus Histoplasma capsulatum. Disseminated histoplasmosis rarely presents in the larynx and may mimic the appearance of a laryngeal neoplasm. Here, we present a case of laryngeal histoplasmosis in an elderly patient undergoing treatment for rheumatoid arthritis with immunosuppressive medications.
