ISOLATED ADRENAL HISTOPLSMOSIS: A CASE REPORT

Dr. Ankit Panwar, Dr V. K. Sharma and Dr. Mukesh Kumar*

ABSTRACT

Histoplasmosis is an infection caused by a dimorphic fungus Histoplasma capsulatum. The infection is acquired by inhalation of its spores. Although most infections are asymptomatic, self-limiting acute pneumonitis and hilar lymphadenopathy may occur with inhalation of large aerosol. Adrenal involvement is seen in disseminated disease but sometimes it may be the only site of demonstrable disease. Early diagnosis and treatment may save the patient from catastrophic adrenal insufficiency. We report a rare histopathology proven case of isolated adrenal histoplaqsmosis in a 43 years old immunocompetent male patient.
