A case of localised histoplasmosis of the gingivae, with no osseous involvement is described in a 50-year-old man. The diagnosis was based on histology, growth on culture and a positive histoplasmin latex test. Therapy was commenced with intravenous amphotericin but was changed to intravenous miconazole because of serious immediate side effects and the development of marked renal impairment and moderate suppression of erythropoiesis. Rebiopsy of the gingival margin showed therapy to be effective. No source of the infection could be traced.
