Although primarily endemic in the Midwestern United States, there has been a rise in cases throughout New England. Factors that could contribute to this rise of blastomycosis include a changing climate, increasing use of immunosuppressive medications as well as a greater recognition of this disease. Initial presentation of blastomycosis follows the inhalation of fungal spores which can cause flu-like symptoms or mimic acute pneumonia. Blastomycosis can also present as a disseminated infection through extrapulmonary spread in both immunocompromised and immunocompetent hosts and cases present at similar rates within the population. Here we present a case of disseminated blastomycosis in a patient from New England with no reported pre-existing risk factors. The patient developed blastomycosis osteomyelitis in the left elbow which prompted surgical intervention as well as a 12-month regimen of voriconazole therapy. This case outlines the need to adopt better surveillance practices for blastomycosis in non-endemic areas as well as highlights the imperative role of healthcare staff in implementing proper reporting measures to track the spread of blastomycosis.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47045,"journal":{"name":"IDCases","volume":"39 ","pages":"Article e02139"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11750486/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143025290","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This report presents the case of a 59-year-old male farmer from a rural area of Tunisia who presented with severe abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Diagnostic imaging revealed a large hepatic cyst with free peritoneal fluid, indicating a ruptured hydatid cyst. Emergency surgery involved cyst evacuation, peritoneal lavage, and drainage. Postoperatively, the patient developed a transient biliary fistula but recovered well with albendazole therapy to prevent recurrence. Six months post-surgery, the patient remains asymptomatic. The case underscores the importance of considering hydatid disease in acute abdomen diagnoses in endemic regions and highlights the critical role of imaging and timely surgical intervention. The literature review indicates variability in the prevalence of cyst rupture and emphasizes the need for a comprehensive approach combining surgery and antiparasitic treatment for effective management and recurrence prevention.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47045,"journal":{"name":"IDCases","volume":"39 ","pages":"Article e02166"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143158933","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its presentation is often atypical, mimicking aggressive neoplasms due to features such as local bone destruction, which complicates diagnosis and may lead to unnecessary invasive interventions. We report the case of a 32-year-old immunocompetent male presenting with chronic right nasal obstruction, rhinorrhoea, facial puffiness, hyposmia, and intermittent fever. Imaging revealed a heterogeneous mass in the right frontal, ethmoidal, and maxillary sinuses, with extensive bony erosion suggestive of a malignant etiology. Histopathological examination of biopsy tissue, however, demonstrated granulomatous inflammation with Langhans giant cells, necrosis, and acid-fast bacilli on Ziehl-Neelsen staining, confirming tuberculoma. Anti-tubercular treatment (ATT) was promptly initiated post-biopsy, leading to complete symptom resolution and no recurrence. This case sheds light on the importance of including tuberculoma in the differential diagnosis of aggressive sinonasal lesions in immunocompetent patients despite their rarity, and highlights the critical role of histopathology and ATT in effective management, potentially preventing extensive surgical resections and associated morbidity.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47045,"journal":{"name":"IDCases","volume":"39 ","pages":"Article e02179"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143386996","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
