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.
一名53岁男性因胸部X线片异常显示右上肺野有一个孤立性肿瘤阴影而入院。实验室检查数据正常。尽管支气管镜检查和痰细胞学检查未发现异常，但仍对右上叶进行了部分切除。病变的显微镜检查为隐球菌病。由于全身检查未发现其他病灶，该病变被诊断为原发性肺隐球菌病。隐球菌病很少见，但当我们在胸部X线片上遇到孤立性肿瘤阴影时，必须考虑到这种疾病。
