title: Bilateral adrenal histoplasmosis in an immunocompetent man from Texas.
abstract: Disseminated histoplasmosis affecting the adrenal gland(s) of immunocompetent adults is a very rare infection. Here, we present a case of bilateral adrenal histoplasmosis in an immunocompetent, 62-year-old gentleman from Texas along with a brief review of the published literature. Given the risk of patient decompensation secondary to adrenal insufficiency and the wide availability of effective treatments, adrenal histoplasmosis must be considered even in immunocompetent adults who acquire adrenal masses.
