  • Title: [Pathological fracture revealing an osseous histoplasmosis. A case report on a 60-year patient].
    Author: Ngatse-Oko A, Péko JF, Ntsiba H, Ngolet A, Kokolo J, Ondzoto M, Carme B, Moyikoua A.
    Journal: Bull Soc Pathol Exot; 2006 Oct; 99(4):227-9. PubMed ID: 17111967.
    Abstract:
    The authors report a new case of African Histoplasmosis in a 60-year-old patient. It was an humeral localization revealing a pathological fracture which grew into an extension of osteolysis and a cutaneous fistulization likely to be a malignant bone tumor. The case has been diagnosed by surgical biopsy and histological analysis. Its antifungal treatment in progress resulted in the drainage of the out-flow that should permit the bone reconstruction by graft. The authors stress on the need to focus on this affection whenever, in a tropical area, one is faced with any chronic bone fistula that cannot positively be cured in spite of sound medical cares.
