| Title: | Histoplasmosis presenting as hyperplastic gingival lesion | Authors: | Loh, F. Yeo, J. Tan, W. Kumarasinghe, G. |
Issue Date: | 1989 | Citation: | Loh, F.,Yeo, J.,Tan, W.,Kumarasinghe, G. (1989). Histoplasmosis presenting as hyperplastic gingival lesion. Journal of Oral Pathology and Medicine 18 (9) : 533-536. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | A case of histoplasmosis presenting as ulcerated, hyperplastic gingiva and with no other systematic signs and symptoms is reported. The clinical presentation and the rarity of this condition led one of us to the differential diagnosis of a malignant lesion. The correct diagnosis was made after histological examination and tissue culture which yielded Histoplasma capsulatum. The patient was successfully treated with ketoconazole. | Source Title: | Journal of Oral Pathology and Medicine | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/46597 | ISSN: | 09042512 |
