Abstract

Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM), also known as South American blastomycosis, is a deep mycosis caused by the dimorphic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis. It has an endemic distribution ranging from Mexico to Argentina. The oral manifestations of the PCM are usually the first perceptible sign of the disease. The aim of this report is to alert the oral professionals about the clinical features of the disease and to present two cases where oral lesions were the major complaint.
