Abstract
The protean manifestations of progressive disseminated histoplasmosis in AIDS patients (PDH/AIDS) specially the cutaneous lesions, may confuse the clinician or the pathologist. A case of PDH/AIDS diagnosed by direct and histologic examination and cultures of subcutaneous nodule aspirate and skin biopsy is reported. The requirement of special histologic and cultures procedures is emphasized. Clinical manifestations of the disease are discussed.
