    Author: McGregor DK, Citron D, Shahab I.
    Journal: South Med J; 2003 Jan; 96(1):74-7. PubMed ID: 12602722.
    Abstract:
    Cryptococcus neoformans is an encapsulated yeast that can cause primary pulmonary infections or disseminate and cause infections of the central nervous system, meninges, skin, and bone in the immunocompromised host. We present here an unusual case of an immunocompetent patient who had laryngitis due to C. neoformans that mimicked a laryngeal carcinoma on clinical examination and imaging studies.
