The most important clinicopathological and laboratory data are tabulated. The uncommon forms of cryptococcal cells given are: structures resembling germ tube (one case), chains of budding yeasts (one case), pseudohyphae (two cases) and nonencapsulated yeast-like organisms (eight cases). The diagnosis was based on the histopathological findings. The causative organism was isolated and identified in seven cases; five were due to C. neoformans, and two to C. gattii. In addition, the importance of using staining histochemical techniques - Grocott's silver stain (GMS), Mayer's mucicarmine stain (MM) and Fontana-Masson stain (FM) - in the diagnosis of cryptococcosis is argued.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/s0036-46652010000300006","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,7,12]],"date-time":"2010-07-12T18:12:00Z","timestamp":1278958320000},"page":"145-149","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Unusual
