A case of osteomyelitis caused by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis primarily diagnosed by means of fine-needle aspiration biopsy is reported here in a 60-yr-old Italian patient who had lived in Venezuela for 40 yr. The cytologic and electron microscopic features of the exudate aspirated from a left femoral osteolytic area are described, and the differential diagnosis of this mycotic infection is discussed briefly.

Abstract
A case of osteomyelitis caused by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis primarily diagnosed by means of fine-needle aspiration biopsy is reported here in a 60-yr-old Italian patient who had lived in Venezuela for 40 yr. The cytologic and electron microscopic features of the exudate aspirated from a left femoral osteolytic area are described, and the differential diagnosis of this mycotic infection is discussed briefly.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
