[Pulmonary histoplasmoma after travel abroad]

Histoplasmosis is one of the most common systemic and pulmonary mycoses. Whereas it occurs in Europe only in a few regions of northern Italy, it is endemic in North America and in certain Latin American and Asian regions. The authors report on the case of a girl of ten years of age in whom histoplasmoma was seen in the left lung after she had been staying for a prolonged period in Latin America and Thailand.
