| Core Tip |
Cryptococcal skin lesions are uncommon and may present as erythema, plaque, ulcer or nodule. Very rarely, the skin lesions may present as cellulitis or as molluscoid lesions. Disseminated disease presenting with molluscoid skin lesions is rare. In our patient, lesions presented on the face, many days before clinical onset of meningo-encephalitis. Collaboration and communication among interdisciplinary teams in a healthcare setting can lead to improved patient outcomes. The role of histopathology in the diagnostic process is essential. |
