description Blastomyces is an endemic fungal pathogen found in regions of North America. It is endemic in the Ohio and Mississippi river valleys, New York, Wisconsin, Colorado, Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, and other regions of the United States. It is common in Canada, mainly Ontario and Manitoba. Here, we report a case of tracheal and pulmonary blastomycosis. Interestingly, this case presented as an unexpected diagnosis as part of a malignancy workup. To our knowledge, this is only the second case of tracheal blastomycosis reported in the literature.
