| Core Tip |
Cryptococcosis can closely mimic metastatic lung cancer, particularly in immunocompetent individuals, leading to potential misdiagnosis and delayed treatment. This case highlights the critical role of a multidisciplinary diagnostic approach, including imaging, laboratory testing, and histopathological examination, in distinguishing pulmonary cryptococcosis from malignancy. Despite negative cerebrospinal fluid findings, brain lesions were present, emphasizing the need for comprehensive immune evaluation. Early recognition and appropriate antifungal therapy can lead to favorable outcomes, underscoring the importance of considering cryptococcosis in the differential diagnosis of lung and brain lesions. |
