The patient was sent to Clínica Marly with an 80% upper airway obstruction. The treatment initially included laser therapy and biopsies of the obstruction.

A systematic research for tracheal histoplasmosis was made and there weren’t any specific articles on the subject in world literature. Upper airway histoplasmosis includes lesions in head, neck, larynx and oral cavity in that the host has any case of immunosupression and begins with disseminated disease. Upper airway histoplasmosis produces dysphonia, dyspnea and usually dysphagia. The oral mucous, tongue and larynx are the usual places of presentation of the disease in this location.

This is a very unusual complication that must be considered as a differential diagnosis in upper airway obstruction.
