This is a case of disseminated cryptococcosis with gastrointestinal and thyroid involvement. This case illustrates that gastrointestinal and thyroid involvement may be an under-recognized phenomenon. Suspicion should be high in an immunocompromised patient with odynophagia and a thyroid nodule and warrants further investigation by endoscopy and fine needle aspiration biopsy.
这是一例伴有胃肠道和甲状腺受累的播散性隐球菌病病例。该病例表明胃肠道和甲状腺受累可能是一种未被充分认识的现象。对于有吞咽痛和甲状腺结节的免疫功能低下患者,应高度怀疑,并需通过内镜检查和细针穿刺活检进行进一步调查。
