Abstract:Objective To investigate the clinical manifestations of pulmonary crytococcosis (PC) of solitary nodular type as illustrated by multi-spiral computed tomography so as to improve the diagnostic accuracy. Methods The CT images of 18 patients diagnosed with pulmonary crytococcosis were reviewed retrospectively, all the diagnoses were pathologically confirmed. Results Among the 18 cases, 13 nodules were located in subpleural regions and 12 nodules were located in lower lobes. CT images indicated that circular nodules were found in 16 cases, air bronchogram was found in 15 cases, vascular convergence was found in 8 cases, 7 cases clinged to pleura with wide basement, halo sign was found in 6 cases, pleural reaction was found in 5 cases, pleural indentation was found in 2 cases, spicule sign was found in 4 cases, slender spiculation was found in 2 cases. Conclusion As manifested by the multi-spiral computed tomography imaging, the clinical features of pulmonary cryptococcosis of solitary nodular type had certain characteristic idiosyncrasy. Careful analysis of CT imaging of the solitary PC can help improve the diagnostic accuracy.
