title: Hoarseness of voice in an AIDS patient: a rare presenting feature of disseminated histoplasmosis.
abstract: Laryngeal histoplasmosis is very rare among patients with HIV and very few cases have so far been documented. We report a case of laryngeal histoplasmosis in a patient with no prior AIDS defining diagnosis, which mimicked epithelial neoplasia, and was treated successfully with oral fluconazole.
