Infection from Histoplasma capsulatum is usually subclinical, but it also can be disseminated in patients with a compromised immune status. Involvement of the external genitalia is a rare finding, occurring by direct contact or hematogenous spread. We present a case of histoplasma posthitis in a 71-year-old man, manifesting with the extremely unusual presentation of phimosis. The diagnosis was confirmed using an immunohistochemical stain.
荚膜组织胞浆菌感染通常为亚临床感染,但在免疫功能受损的患者中也可能播散。外生殖器受累是一种罕见表现,可通过直接接触或血行播散发生。我们报告一例71岁男性的组织胞浆菌性阴茎头炎病例,表现为极为罕见的包茎。通过免疫组化染色确诊。
