    This case report details cryptococcal meningoencephalitis in a young man, presenting as a right cerebral hemisphere mass. Diagnosis was confirmed by histopathology showing Cryptococcus neoformans in the brain and meninges.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Medical Mycology

    Background:

    • Cryptococcal meningoencephalitis is a serious fungal infection affecting the central nervous system.
    • It can present with diverse clinical and radiological findings, sometimes mimicking neoplastic or other expanding intracranial lesions.

    Observation:

    • A 26-year-old male presented with clinical and radiological evidence of an expanding lesion in the right cerebral hemisphere.
    • The patient underwent a right fronto-temporo-parietal exploratory and decompressive craniotomy for diagnosis and management.

    Findings:

    • Histopathologic examination confirmed cryptococcal meningoencephalitis.
    • Cryptococcus neoformans was identified within the leptomeninges and in cystic spaces within the brain parenchyma.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering fungal infections in the differential diagnosis of expanding intracranial processes.
    • Accurate and timely diagnosis through histopathology is crucial for effective treatment of cryptococcal meningoencephalitis.
    • Understanding the varied presentations of Cryptococcus neoformans infections is vital for neurologists and infectious disease specialists.
