title: [A case of primary pulmonary cryptococcosis].
abstract: A 53-year-old male was admitted because of an abnormal chest roentgenogram showing a solitary tumor shadow in the right upper lung field. Laboratory data was normal. Although examination with the bronchoscope and sputum cytology showed no abnormal findings, a partial resection of the right upper lobe was performed. Microscopic examination of the lesion was cryptococcosis. As another focus was not found by systemic examination, the lesion was disclosed primary pulmonary cryptococcosis. Cryptococcosis is rare but we must think of it when we meet a solitary tumor shadow on the chest roentgenogram.
