A clinico-morphological analysis of two observations of cryptococcomas of the lungs are presented. In one case the diagnosis was established on the basis of cytological examinations of the sputum. This form of pulmonary cryptococcosis as well as identification of cryptococci in the sputum by cytological examinations are first described in the Soviet literature. The attention is drawn to the difficulties of clinico-roentgenological and morphological diagnosis of this disease and to the necessity to differentiate it from metastases of hyperneophroma, diseases of parasitic origin, and mycoses by other fungi.
本文对两例肺隐球菌瘤的病例进行了临床形态学分析。其中一例是根据痰液的细胞学检查确诊的。这种肺隐球菌病的形式以及通过细胞学检查在痰液中鉴定隐球菌，在苏联文献中尚属首次描述。文中提请注意该病临床X线及形态学诊断的困难，以及将其与肾上腺皮质癌转移、寄生虫源性疾病及其他真菌引起的霉菌病相鉴别的必要性。
