Abstract

Cryptococcal infection most commonly affects the lung, meninges and skin. The involvement of lymph node in cryptococcosis is considered to be rare and is usually observed in cases where the disease is very widely disseminated. Disseminated cryptococcosis is a life threatening disease seen more commonly in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) or other forms of immune suppression. We report a case of AIDS with cryptococcal lymphadenitis, diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology of the involved lymph node and was subsequently confirmed by histopathological examination of the involved lymph node.
