초록
Cryptococcus is a pathogenic fungus that can cause various infections mainly in an immuno-compromised host. Cryptococcal yeasts are easily inhaled, so pulmonary infection is the mostcommonly encountered, but in immunocompetent status, primary cryptococcosis occurs rarelyin the pharyngo-epiglottic fold. A 75-year-old male came to our clinic with the complaint offoreign body sensation in the throat that lasted for three months. Rigid laryngoscopy showed acircular mass in the pharyngo-epiglottic fold and we performed laryngeal microsurgery withCO2 laser to remove it. The patient was pathologically diagnosed as cryptococcosis. We reportthis case of rare, atypical cryptococcosis in the pharyngo-epiglottic fold along with a related literature review.
