Histoplasmosis is a rare disease in India. We are reporting this disease in a middle-aged non-Caucasian male who has never travelled outside India. Successful treatment was achieved with the nephrotoxic anti-mycotic drug (Amphotericin B), despite a pre-existing renal impairment.
Oral malignant melanoma is rare and has a poor prognosis. We report a case of melanoma of the lower alveolus with rapid spread to the cervical lymph nodes and breast. Metastasis was diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology. The literature on oral melanoma is also reviewed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
