A patient with systemic involvement, initially treated as tuberculosis, is
presented in this report. There were only two painful subcutaneous nodules, from
which we arrived at the correct diagnosis of histoplasmosis. The patient was
attended by several experts in the fields of infectious diseases, nephrology and
internal medicine, but the diagnosis was only possible after dermatological
examination and skin biopsy. This case values multidisciplinary interaction
between dermatologists and other medical areas for diagnosis of cases with
atypical manifestations.
