Extensive Pulmonary Cryptococcosis as a Presentation in an Immunocompetent Young Male: A Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography Finding.

A 42-year-old male presented with a dry cough, breathlessness, and fever. He underwent a computed tomography that revealed large consolidation in the right lung. Biopsy revealed Cryptococcus neoformans . He was on antifungal for 4 months with no clinicoradiological improvement. 18 F- fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18 F-FDG PET/CT) showed consolidations in the right lung with multiple lung nodules. 18 F-FDG PET/CT ascertains the diagnosis of residual fungal infection and rules out extrapulmonary involvement.
