Abstract:
The authors report a case of american pulmonary histoplasmosis discovered by chance on a chest radiograph in a non immunocompromised patient, back from a stay in French Guyana. Confronted with the negativity of usual mycotic research, diagnosis has been made thanks to wedge excision by video-assisted thoracic surgery. The authors briefly sum up the recent facts regarding this imported infection, stressing the interest of a direct approach by surgical practices not very invasive that allow to eliminate with certainty neoplasm or tuberculosis.
