This paper presents a male, immunocompetent case aged 62-year-old with cryptococcal granuloma in the basal ganglia. No cryptococcal infection occurred in other areas. The diagnosis was made by biopsy. Cryptococcal granuloma was tough and unsuitable for sterotactic biopsy. The patient died of postoperative bleeding and we suggest avoiding stereotactic biopsy of lesions suspected of being cryptococcal granulomas.
本文介绍了一例免疫功能正常的 62 岁男性基底节部位的隐球菌肉芽肿病例,其他部位无隐球菌感染。诊断通过活检得出。隐球菌肉芽肿质地坚硬,不适合立体定向活检。患者术后因出血死亡,我们建议避免对疑似隐球菌肉芽肿的病变进行立体定向活检。
