Incidental Cryptococcal lung mass in an immunocompetent patient. 

 -  2019 
<br/><br/> Cryptococcus is an encapsulated fungal organism often implicated in central nervous system and pulmonary disease in patients with AIDS or other immunocompromising diseases. However, immunocompetent hosts can also be infected. In these cases, symptoms are generally mild and common radiographic findings include small, well-defined, smoothly marginated pulmonary nodules. We present a case of a 31-year-old man without any immunocompromising factors found to have pulmonary Cryptococcal infection presenting as a large lung mass. Copyright (c) 2019 The Author(s).
