ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the CT findings of pulmonary cryptococcosis (PC)in patients without HIV infection.Methods CT data of 26 patients with PC proved by pathology were analyzed retrospectively.All cases underwent plain CT scan,8 of whom underwent contrast-enhanced CT scan.Results 26 patients (17 male and 9 female),single lesion on CT was found in 11 cases,multiple nodules or masses in 10 cases,and mixed-type lesions in 5 cases.The lesion was located in left lung in 1 1 cases,in right lung in 7 cases and bilateral lungs in 8 cases.The lesions with burr sign were found in 1 9 cases,with cavities or vacuoles in 10 cases,and with halo sign in 8 cases.Enhanced CT showed marked heterogeneity in 1 case,moderate heterogeneity in 2 cases,slight enhancement in 3 cases and nonenhancement in 2 cases.Conclusion Lesions of PC with various CT findings are easy to be misdiagnosed as lung carcinoma or other lesions.CT-guided percutaneous lung biopsy is an effective method for diagnosis.
