- W2893332731 abstract "Cryptococcosis is an infection caused by the yeast-like fungus Cryptococcus neoformans. Pulmonary cryptococcosis is typically identified as a single mass or as multiple nodules, while endobronchial lesions are quite rare. Here we report an uncommon case of pulmonary cryptococcosis presenting as endobronchial lesion in an immunocompetent patient. A 49-year-old male patient complained of intermittent cough with hemoptysis for two years. Computerized tomography of the chest showed a filling defect in the basal segment of the right lower lobe bronchus. A flexible bronchoscopic examination revealed a white smooth-surfaced polypoid lesion completely occluding the medial basal segment of the right lower lobe bronchus. The diagnosis was confirmed by bronchial biopsy under bronchoscopy, and the histopathologic findings showed the organisms were Cryptococcal neoformans. The patient was treated with fluconazole at a dose of 400 mg daily. The endobronchial lesion was found rapidly diminished after 18 days of therapy, and disappeared after 6.5 months of therapy by repeated fiberoptic bronchoscopy. Then the patient continued fluconazole for another 2.5 months. During the total 16 months' follow-up visits, the patient repeated CT scanning for five times, the results of which were all normal. The patient's symptoms disappeared as well, and now he is still under follow-up. This case highlights the fact that pulmonary cryptococcosis can present as endobronchial lesions even in immunocompetent subjects, mimicking lung tumor. Pathological confirmation is important to establish the definite diagnosis." @default.
