    Abstract:
    We encountered a case of chronic pulmonary paracoccidiodomycosis in Japan. A 53-year-old Japanese man, who had worked in Brazil from 1964 to 1969. Came to our hospital because of abnormal shadows on a screening chest roentgenogram. In 1989, he had been treated with fluconazole for mucocutaneous-lymphangitic paracoccidioidomycosis with oral ulceration and neak hymphadenitis. Chest roentgenograms and computed tomograms showed diffuse small nodular and emphysematous shadows. Microscopical examination of specimens obtained by transbronchial lung biopsy showed no abnormality. He was treated with oral fluconazole, and the abnormal radiographic shadows regressed. We believe that this was the first case of chronic pulmonary paracoccidiodomycosis in Japan.
