title: [African histoplasmosis of the lung (author's transl)].
abstract: Lung resection showing giant cell (African) histoplasmosis was performed because of suspected lung tumour in a patient who had lived mainly in West Africa. A primary focus or signs of localisation in other organs were suspected radiographically in the maxilla and in the skeleton. However, they could not be confirmed as the patient declined further investigations for diagnosis and therapy.
