Abstract

A cryptococcal abscess of the breast is uncommon and may mimic a neoplastic lesion. We describe a patient with an isolated cryptococcal infection of the breast, which was treated with oral fluconazole in combination with surgical excision. With the exception of diabetes mellitus type II, no underlying predisposing illness was identified
