Abstract:
A 50-year-old female developed a swelling in the epigastrium which later ruptured to form a sinus. A diagnosis of primary cutaneous cryptococcosis was made with the help of histopathology and microbiological studies. Treatment with amphotericin-B and 5-flucytosine gave a good therapeutic response and the sinus healed within 2 months.
