Resumo: Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a systemic mycosis, and the infection occurs by inhalation of fungal propagules. That affects various regions of the body, including the oral cavity. A 53-year-old male smoker was referred to our department due to bleeding in the oral mucosa region. The patient was a rural worker and mechanic, otherwise asymptomatic, and had no significant past medical or family history. Intraoral lesions with a moriform appearance, irregular format, and poorly defined borders, which had been present for three months, were observed, and incisional biopsy was performed. Histologic analysis demonstrated squamous hyperplasia and an absence of giant multinucleated cells. The patient had neither cough nor breathing difficulties, and a chest X-ray showed no pulmonary alterations. A diagnosis of Paracoccidioidomycosis was established, and the chosen treatment was the systemic oral intake of antifungal itraconazole, which resulted in the regression of the lesion.
