TI  - Cytological diagnosis of paracoccidioidomycosis: a report of four cases.
PG  - 374-6
LID - 10.1002/dc.22861 [doi]
AB  - Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a common deep mycosis in South America caused by 
      Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, a dimorphic fungus. Biopsy is the most frequent 
      diagnostic method. The aim of this article is reporting four cases of PCM, in 
      which intraoral involvement simulated squamous-cell carcinoma and was diagnosed 
      by exfoliative cytology. We highlight this diagnostic tool as a simple, low cost, 
      painless, noninvasive, and fast diagnostic method for PCM.
