Anal paracoccidioidomycosis: an unusual presentation of disseminated disease

Anal paracoccidioidomycosis: an unusual presentation of disseminated disease

We report a patient with an unusual anal ulceration. The biopsy of an anal lesion and subsequent studies revealed a disseminated form of paracoccidioidomycosis, observed in the lungs, small and large bowel. The anorectal disease frequently represents a secondary site of disease, and the patient must be better evaluated.
