Clinical Observations

Danial L. Fox1 and Nestor L. Müller1,2

1 Department of Radiology, Vancouver General Hospital, 899 W 12th Ave., Vancouver, BC V5Z 1M9, Canada.

OBJECTIVE. The aim of our study was to review the CT findings of pulmonary cryptococcosis in 12 immunocompetent patients.

CONCLUSION. The CT manifestations of pulmonary cryptococcosis consist of pulmonary nodules or masses measuring 5-52 mm in diameter and focal areas of consolidation. The nodules and masses have a predominantly peripheral distribution in 80% of the cases. Cavitation of nodules or consolidation is seen in approximately 40% of the cases. The infection can be due to Cryptococcus neoformans var gattii or var neoformans.
