    Abstract:
    A 50-year-old Indian housewife presented with multiple cutaneous lesions over the upper back, thigh and both the extremities, which first appeared 5 months previously. The diagnosis of disseminated cutaneous cryptococcosis was made on the basis of the demonstration and isolation of Cryptococcus neoformans from the aspirated pus and skin biopsy. A serological test for HIV antibodies was negative. The patient responded to itraconazole treatment.
