[A case of pulmonary cryptococcosis diagnosed by percutaneous lung biopsy].
Kyobu Geka. 1994 May; 47(5):417-9.KG

Abstract

A 53-year-old male was admitted with complaint of bloody sputum. The chest X-ray film revealed a solitary round mass with cavity formation in the left upper lung field. A diagnosis of pulmonary cryptococcosis was made by the percutaneous lung biopsy. As his chest X-ray film did not improve even by administration of antimycotic agents for 6 months, he underwent partial resection of left upper lobe. Thus, the percutaneous lung biopsy was a significant procedure for the definitive diagnosis of this case.
