Résumé

Cryptococcosis is a global invasive mycosis, commonly encountered in patients with HIV/AIDS with low CD4 counts, diabetics, organ and stem-cell transplant recipients, malignancies, and other patients with immunosuppression. The presentation depends on which organ is usually involved although multi-organ involvement may be present. Here, we describe a young female with an enlarging flank mass, found to have disseminated cryptococcosis in the setting of immunosuppression.
