AbstractHistoplasmosis is an opportunistic fungal infection that occurs predominantly in immunocompromised patients. Cutaneous lesions in histoplasmosis are rare and typically occur in the absence of extra‐cutaneous manifestations. We present a rare case of disseminated cutaneous‐only histoplasmosis in a patient with recently diagnosed AIDS.
