Paracoccidioidomycosis (South American blastomycosis) of the larynx mimicking carcinoma.

Paracoccidioidomycosis is the most frequently identified deep mycosis in South America. Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is a thermally dimorphic fungus that is generally acquired by the respiratory route through airborne inhalation of conidia. Herein, we describe a case of a patient with paracoccidioidomycosis of the larynx mimicking carcinoma of the larynx and we review the literature regarding this unusual manifestation of this fungal infection.
