Abstract
|
|
The simultaneous occurrence of a pulmonary carcinoid tumor and pulmonary Cryptococcus is very rare. A 25-year-old male presented with typical symptoms of Cushing's syndrome. Investigations revealed synchronous lung lesions in the right upper lobe and left lower lobe. The right upper lobe lesion was strongly PET-positive and the left lower lobe lesion was mildly PET- positive. A right upper lobectomy was performed with histological analysis confirming pulmonary cryptococcosis. A delayed left lower lobectomy was performed with histological analysis confirming a typical carcinoid tumor
