A 49-year-old woman was admitted to Hacettepe Medical Faculty Hospital with the complaints of headache, nausea, vomiting, lethargy, and weakness on her right side. She revealed a history of pulmonary Cryptococcus infection 5 years before and she had been treated with amphotericin B. After clinical and laboratory investigation she was thought to have an intracranial mass, but her deteriorating situation did not allow any surgical intervention; she died within 7 days. On necropsy, hard, gray-white nodular pulmonary lesions, ranging 0.1-4 cm in diameter, basal meningitis, infarcts, and a nodular lesion 1.5 cm in diameter similar to those of the lung were present in the white matter of the right hemisphere of the brain. Microscopic examination revealed granulomatous inflammation caused by Cladosporium, which had brown pigment and septate hyphae. © 1985.
