59-year-old male, farmer, resident in the rural area of Valparaíso, Antioquia, Colombia. History of heavy smoking up to six months ago. He consulted for five years of evolution of lesions in the oral cavity and for five months he presented unintentional weight loss of 10 kg, dyspnea, hypersalivation, joint pain and skin lesions on the limbs. Multiple studies were performed showing ulcers in the oral cavity and on the skin, friable lesions in the upper airway, tree-in-bud sign in the upper lung lobes in the rx, and chronic maxillary osteomyelitis. New skin biopsies and histochemical studies were taken, which allowed to confirm the diagnosis of chronic disseminated paracoccidioidomycosis.
