AJNR 26:2522-2526, Saigal,G.,et al, 2005
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
The imaging findings of cryptococcosis affecting the brain in immunocompetent patients can be different fro the more commonly described findings in immuno-compromised patients. We report a case of an extremely unusual MR appearance of central nervous system cryptococcosis in a 49-year-old immunocompetent man.
