Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A 67-year-old diabetic man presented with progressive multifocal myeloradiculopathy for 6 months, with no pulmonary symptoms. A chest x-ray and CT scan of the lungs revealed bilateral multiple nodular infiltrates in the right upper lobe and the lower lobes bilaterally, mimicking metastases. A thoracoscopic lung biopsy demonstrated bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia caused by capsule-deficient cryptococcosis.
