Abstract
Isolated pulmonary cryptococcosis (IPC) accounts for just over 30% of this fungal infection and is rare among immunocompetent individuals. Since it has polymorphic manifestations, it is not always suspected and often misdiagnosed. To help establish a differential diagnosis for these pulmonary lesions, six cases of IPC in nonimmune-impaired hosts are reported.
