Dissemination of coccidioidomycosis is rare. The skin, musculoskeletal system, and central nervous system have been described as the most common sites of extrapulmonary disease. We present a case of an asymptomatic patient in whom the diagnosis of coccidioidomycosis was made on a lymph node biopsy. The biopsy was performed because of an abnormal mammogram and physical findings suggestive of malignancy.
球孢子菌病的播散很少见。皮肤、肌肉骨骼系统和中枢神经系统被描述为肺外疾病最常见的部位。我们报告一例无症状患者,通过淋巴结活检确诊为球孢子菌病。进行活检是因为乳房X光检查异常以及体格检查结果提示恶性肿瘤。
