RESUMO
We report a fatal case of disseminated strongyloidiasis masquerading clinically as stage IV caecal malignancy diagnosed at post mortem by needle necropsy. The parasite was seen in the smears from CSF, pleural fluid, ascitic fluid, splenic aspirate, lung aspirate and aspirates from caecal area. Enteric organisms like Group D streptococci and candida sp were also associated. We believe that this is the first report of widespread dissemination of S. stercoralis in AIDS from India.

Phaeohypomycosis is a clinical syndrome caused by melanised or dematiaceous fungi characterized by the presence of brown mycelial structures in tissue section. These fungi are associated with a repertoire of the clinical manifestations that includes superficial and deep local infection to disseminated infection. Herein, we describe the clinical and fine-needle aspiration cytology and histopathologic features of a case of subcutaneous phaeohypomycosis.
