[PDF][PDF] Cryptococcocis: a rare fungal infection of the tongue
Fungal infection in the oral cavity is not uncommon. The site involved is usually species
related. Cryptococcus rarely infects the oral cavity. We report an elderly patient who
presented with a central lesion on the dorsum of the tongue. Biopsy revealed a fungal
infection. Special stains confirmed cryptococcus. Being a rare location for cryptococcal
infection, clinical suspicion should be correlated with histopathological examination. Once
confirmed, the patient should be treated with an antifungal medication.
