Introduction:
Paracoccidioidomycosis is an endemic mycosis in different Latin American countries, including areas of Colombia, with a very varied clinical manifestation since it is considered a disease that can be chronic and systemic.
Objectives:
To expose the importance of the clinical-stomatological examination in the detection of different entities in the stomatognathic system, and the multidisciplinary management of oral and systemic paracoccidioidomycosis.
Clinical case:
male patient in the sixth decade of life, who presented glossalgia and pain in the ocular region. Clinically, it presents a granulomatous-type lesion on the lateral edges of the tongue with evolution of approximately 1 year ago, the result of the biopsy is paracoccidioidomycosis, multidisciplinary management is started with intravenous and oral medications, after 10 months it resolves. Conclusions: a good questioning, analysis of the clinical picture and complementary tests are key to early diagnosis and timely treatment, preserving the patient's life, especially in opportunistic infections such as paracoccidioidomycosis.
