The authors report a case of paracoccidioidomycosis misinterpreted as tuberculoid leprosy, both on clinical and histological examination. Sarcoid-like cutaneous lesion as the initial presentation is rare in young patient with paracoccidioidomycosis and can simulate other infectious or inflammatory diseases. On histology, tuberculoid granuloma presented similar difficulties. Treatment with dapsone, a sulfonamide derivative, could have delayed the presumed natural clinical course to the classical juvenile type of paracoccidioidomycosis, observed only 24 months after the patient had been treated for leprosy.

Abstract Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH) is usually a cutaneous lesion thought to represent a peculiar manifestation of an organizing thrombus. The principal significance of IPEH is its microscopic resemblance to angiosarcoma and possible misinterpretation as such. The occurrence of IPEH in the paranasal sinus is exceedingly rare. In this article, we report the first case to our knowledge of IPEH in a vascular lesion that originated from the ethmoid sinus and extended into the sphenoid sinus and sella. Despite the benign nature of this lesion, it could have been mistaken for a malignant tumor because of its clinical course and radiologic findings.
