title: Pulmonary cryptococcosis within a pulmonary carcinoma-review of reported cases.
abstract: An asymptomatic 71-year-old man was admitted for evaluation of a pulmonary tumor. Chest computed tomography revealed a cavitary tumor in the apical segment of the right lung. Histopathological examination of the resected lung revealed pulmonary cryptococcosis within a papillary adenocarcinoma. Macroscopic and histopathological findings speculated that papillary adenocarcinoma preceded pulmonary cryptococcosis.
