A patient presented with a pathological rib fraction and associated soft tissue mass thought initially to represent a soft tissue neoplasm. However, further consideration of infectious etiologies led to the identification of cryptococcal osteomyelitis. Cryptococcus infection should be considered in the differential of pathological fractures with soft tissue involvement.
一名患者出现病理性肋骨骨折及相关软组织肿块，最初认为是软组织肿瘤。然而，对感染性病因的进一步考虑导致隐球菌性骨髓炎的确诊。在鉴别伴有软组织受累的病理性骨折时，应考虑隐球菌感染。
