Abstract
A case demonstrating the unusual finding of cavitation in a localized pulmonary cryptococcal lesion is reported. Lack of response to anti-tuberculous therapy and inability to confirm a single reported gastric culture positive for tubercle bacilli led to thoracotomy. The etiologic diagnosis was made by laboratory examination of the resected lung specimen.Keywords
