Abstract
A patient with monoarticular synovitis with an osteolytic lesion in the femoral condylar area due to Cryptococcus neoformans infection is presented. The role of exact diagnosis by synovial biopsy and fungal cultures in patients presenting with monoarticular synovitis is emphasized. The literature is reviewed. Drug therapy in conjunction with synovectomy is highly beneficial.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
