A 3-year-old domestic male cat was referred to the Small and Wild Animal Hospital at the School of Veterinary Medicine of the National University of Costa Rica with hypothermia, weight loss, anorexia, and progressive chronic bilateral suppurative rhinitis. The patient died during clinical stabilization. A complete necropsy and histopathology were performed revealing granulomatous inflammation with multiple intracellular yeast-like structures compatible with Histoplasma spp. in several organs. Mycological culture of lung tissue was positive for Histoplasma capsulatum. Possible factors involved in this case are discussed. La histoplasmosis ocurre ocasionalmente en felinos con y sin factores predisponentes. Un gato doméstico macho, de tres años fue referido al Hospital de Especies Menores y Silvestres de la Escuela de Medicina Veterinaria de la Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica con signos de hipotermia, pérdida de peso, anorexia y rinitis supurativa bilateral crónica. El paciente murió durante la estabilización clínica. Se realizó una necropsia completa e histopatología en donde se encontró inflamación granulomatosa con presencia de múltiples estructuras levaduriformes intracelulares compatibles con Histoplasma spp. en varios órganos. Los cultivos micológicos realizados al tejido pulmonar resultaron positivos para Histoplasma capsulatum. Se discuten los posibles factores implicados en este caso.
