Blastomycosis with oral lesions. Report of two cases.
The recent literature suggests that blastomycosis (previously known as North American blastomycosis) with oral lesions may be more common than is generally realized. This report discusses two cases of blastomycosis in which oral lesions played a critical role in the ultimate diagnosis of the disease. The potential importance or oral lesions in early diagnosis and the necessity of culturing the organisms for definitive diagnosis are emphasized.
