Abstract

Histoplasmosis is a systemic fungal disease that takes various clinical forms of which oral lesions are very rare. Isolated oral histoplasmosis without systemic involvement without underlying immunosuppression due to AIDS is very rare. We have a report of one such case of isolated oral histoplasmosis in an immunocompetent individual.
