COMPARATIVE STUDY

[A clinicopathological study of pulmonary cryptococcosis--chest CT and pathologic correlation].
We reviewed the clinicopathological features in 12 patients (7 males and 5 females; mean age 54 yr) with pulmonary cryptococcosis. Eleven of the patients were asymptomatic and the disease was detected by chest radiograph abnormalities. The underlying systemic disease had been diagnosed as diabetes mellitus in two. Chest CT scans showed a solitary nodule in 9 of the 12 patients, multiple nodules in 2, and infiltration in 1. The nodular diameter was less than 2 cm in 10 of the 12. All nodules were located in the subpleural region. On the chest CT, cavitary nodules, scattered nodules, or both, and spiculated nodules were difficult to distinguish from pulmonary tuberculosis and primary lung cancer, respectively. According to McDonnell's pathological classification of pulmonary cryptococcosis, the resected 8 lungs revealed peripheral pulmonary granuloma in 5 and granulomatous pneumonia in 3. It is important to perform a pathological examination for the diagnosis of pulmonary cryptococcosis to avoid misdiagnosis as lung cancer or pulmonary tuberculosis.
