    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Disseminated histoplasmosis can manifest as panniculitis with organisms present in the skin. This differs from primary pulmonary cases where panniculitis is a hypersensitivity reaction.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Histoplasmosis is a fungal infection primarily affecting the lungs.
    • Cutaneous involvement can occur in disseminated disease.
    • Panniculitis is inflammation of subcutaneous fat.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of disseminated histoplasmosis presented with skin and subcutaneous fat involvement.
    • Clinical and histopathologic findings were consistent with panniculitis.
    • Histoplasma organisms were identified within the affected skin and fat tissues.

    Findings:

    • Disseminated histoplasmosis can directly involve the skin and subcutaneous fat, presenting as panniculitis.
    • This presentation differs from the hypersensitivity panniculitis seen in primary pulmonary histoplasmosis.

  • Direct organism presence in cutaneous lesions is a key diagnostic feature.

    • Implications:

    • Recognizing panniculitis as a potential manifestation of disseminated histoplasmosis is crucial for diagnosis.
    • This finding expands the understanding of cutaneous histoplasmosis presentations.
    • Early identification and treatment of disseminated histoplasmosis with cutaneous involvement can improve patient outcomes.
