Histoplasmosis is a fungal disease that is endemic in Brazil. It may present as chronic pulmonary infection or in disseminated form. Disseminated histoplasmosis frequently affects the adrenal gland; however, unilateral involvement in immunosuppressed patients is the usual presentation. We report a case of an elderly immunocompetent male with history of weight loss, fever and bilateral adrenal mass who was successfully treated with itraconazole.
组织胞浆菌病是一种在巴西流行的真菌病。它可能表现为慢性肺部感染或播散性形式。播散性组织胞浆菌病常累及肾上腺；然而，免疫抑制患者单侧受累是常见表现。我们报告一例有体重减轻、发热和双侧肾上腺肿块病史的老年免疫功能正常男性患者，该患者接受伊曲康唑治疗成功。
