CTICasesPulmonary Cryptococcosis (Cryptococcus gattii)
Imaging findings
An irregular, elongated lung nodule without cavitation is observed.
Key takeaways
Immunosuppressed patients, especially those exposed to endemic areas (e.g., Pacific Northwest for Cryptococcus gattii), are at risk for pulmonary cryptococcosis. It can present as an asymptomatic nodule without cavitation. Pathogen identification is crucial, noting that Cryptococcus gattii is now a distinct species from neoformans.
