Blastomycosis is a chronic systemic fungal infection characteristically affecting the skin and lungs. Involvement of the central nervous system (CNS) is unusual, with cases generally presenting with meningitis, and rarely as intracranial mass lesion and solitary or multiple abscesses. Only two cases of intracranial extra-axial blastomycosis have been reported from India, and we report the third case, which presented as meningioma in a 23-year old female.
芽生菌病是一种慢性全身性真菌感染，典型地影响皮肤和肺部。中枢神经系统（CNS）受累并不常见，病例通常表现为脑膜炎，很少表现为颅内肿块病变及单发或多发脓肿。印度仅报告过两例颅内轴外芽生菌病病例，我们报告第三例，该病例表现为一名23岁女性的脑膜瘤。
