Histoplasmosis is common in the Ohio Valley and is mostly asymptomatic. However, in a fraction of patients, significant clinical illness and complications can occur for which treatment options are limited. We describe a case of a young woman with mediastinal granuloma resulting from Histoplasmosis. A brief discussion of the disease and its management follows.
