Abstract
Disseminated cryptococcosis, a life threatening mycosis, usually presents with respiratory tract,
central nervous system and skin involvement. Herein we report a case of disseminated cryptococcosis
presenting with hepatic, lymph nodal and bone marrow involvement in addition to the central nervous
system and lung involvement in a previously healthy, HIV negative individual. The unique presenting
manifestation highlights the need for careful consideration of this entity in conditions mimicking
disseminated tuberculosis and lymphoreticular malignancy.
