[2 cases of pulmonary histoplasmosis in combination with tuberculosis]

Two observations by the authors of a chronic cavernous histoplasmosis in a patient of 13 and a histoplasmoma of the lungs in a patient of 53 are described. The diagnosis was established by the examination of the operation material. Clinically, these patients were diagnosed as pulmonary tuberculosis cases. The attention of pulmonologists is drawn to the features and difficulties of differential diagnosis of histoplasmosis and tuberculosis.
