Pulmonary Histoplasmosis Mimicking Lung Cancer
Ramazan Orkun Onder, Emel Agca Nasuhbeyoglu, Tümay Bekci
TL;DR
Pulmonary histoplasmosis can look like lung cancer on imaging, leading to misdiagnosis, especially in immune-compromised patients.
Contribution
Highlights the importance of considering fungal infections in the differential diagnosis of lung masses.
Findings
Pulmonary histoplasmosis can mimic lung cancer radiologically.
Immune-compromised patients are at higher risk for misdiagnosis.
Abstract
Teaching point: Due to the mass-like appearance of pulmonary histoplasmosis in the lung, radiological misdiagnosis may occur. Fungal infections should be considered in the differential diagnosis, especially in immune-compromised patients.
