Abstract

A 64-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis and asthma developed a rapid growth and uptake of ¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-avid lung nodule. Despite suspicion of malignancy, the biopsy confirmed pulmonary cryptococcosis (PC). Regardless of FDG uptake, PC should be considered in the differential diagnosis.
