Introduction
Pulmonary cryptococcosis caused by Cryptococcus neoformans occurs in immunocompetent hosts as well as in immunocompromised patients1.
The condition presents with various imaging findings, especially in immunocompromised hosts2. Pulmonary nodules/masses, either solitary or multiple, are the most common radiological findings, which are sometimes associated with cavitation, halo sign, and air bronchogram. In addition, it may present with consolidation, ground-glass opacity, linear opacity, and lymphadenopathy1.
In most cases, lesions noted on computed tomography (CT) improve after antifungal treatment; however, the resolution is usually gradual and incomplete among the non-surgical cases3.
Here, we report an extremely rare case of pulmonary cryptococcosis presenting as multiple cystic lesions that enlarged after antifungal treatment.
