Primary gastrointestinal infection is an uncommon manifestation of histoplasmosis. It is almost always associated with disseminated disease and/or an immunocompromised host. The ileum and cecum are the most common sites involved. We report two cases of primary gastrointestinal histoplasmosis in HIV-seropositive men who presented with annular constricting right colon lesions.
A case of xanthogranulomatous ureteritis is described and the numerous similarities with xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis in their clinicopathological presentation are discussed. Of the xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis symptoms our patient manifested a long history of urinary tract infection, weight loss, urinary obstruction, pyuria and gram-negative bacteriuria. The ureteral lesion was a yellowish nodule, granulomatous and was highlighted histologically by foamy histiocytes with periodic acid, Schiff positive cytoplasmic granules. The lesion mimicked an obstructing neoplasm and a specific granuloma.
