摘要
We hereby report a unique manifestation of feline cryptococcosis in the form of extensively consolidated lipoid pneumonia resulting in an isolated space-occupying lung lobe mass. Lung lobectomy was performed and a diagnosis of severe lipoid pneumonia with intra-lesional Cryptococcus gattii was made. The patient was asymptomatic for respiratory disease and no abnormalities of the upper respiratory tract were identified. Anti-fungal therapy was initiated following the diagnosis and the patient recovered without complication.
