Résumé
Pulmonary cryptococcosis is an uncommon invasive fungal infection of the lungs seen in immunocompromised individuals but increasingly reported among the immunocompetent. We report a rare case of pulmonary cryptococcosis in an immunocompetent host highlighting its unique clinical and radiological presentation.Clinical trial number: Not applicable.
