The authors deal with a case of Histoplasmosis in a 50 yr old Italian man without any history of risk exposure to HIV infection and suffering from mycosis fungoides. Although this infection is rare in Europe and particularly in Italy, this case suggests the possibility that soils capable of supporting the saprophytic fungus growth are present even out of the endemic areas.
