Histoplasmosis is a ubiquitous fungal infection endemic to many regions in North America. Mild pulmonary infection with Histoplasma capsulatum is common, but musculoskeletal involvement is rare. We report a case of isolated Histoplasma osteomyelitis presenting as giant-cell tumor of the distal part of the radius. We found no other reported case of histoplasmosis masquerading as giant-cell tumor or of isolated Histoplasma osteomyelitis in a young, healthy patient. The patient was informed that data concerning the case would be submitted for publication, and he consented; our institutional review board exempts case reports from the approval process.
