A 53-year-old male was admitted with complaint of bloody sputum. The chest X-ray film revealed a solitary round mass with cavity formation in the left upper lung field. A diagnosis of pulmonary cryptococcosis was made by the percutaneous lung biopsy. As his chest X-ray film did not improve even by administration of antimycotic agents for 6 months, he underwent partial resection of left upper lobe. Thus, the percutaneous lung biopsy was a significant procedure for the definitive diagnosis of this case.
一名53岁男性因咯血痰入院。胸部X线片显示左上肺野有一个伴有空洞形成的孤立圆形肿块。经皮肺活检诊断为肺隐球菌病。由于使用抗真菌药物治疗6个月后其胸部X线片仍未改善，他接受了左上叶部分切除术。因此，经皮肺活检对于该病例的明确诊断是一个重要的步骤。
