Some reports suggest that ancillary stains are not always needed to establish the diagnosis of Hp infection.

Its origin is controversial and immunohistochemical studies of lesions have largely refuted the possible vascular, neural or smooth muscle origin.

Histoplasmosis can produce different symptoms that may simulate metastasis. We aim to demonstrate the importance of histopathological confirmation of lesions suggestive of metastases
