Follow-up lesion on chest CT and outcome group classification. a–c This case report is about a 55-year-old male patient who had a serum CrAg titre of 1:40 and a lesion in the left lung (a) (indicated by a black arrow). After treatment with fluconazole 400 mg/day, the lesion shrank (b) and ultimately disappeared (c), leading to the patient's assignment to the CR group. d–f In this case report, we present a 25-year-old male patient with pathologically confirmed PC and a mass-type lesion in the lower lobe of the left lung (d) (indicated by a black arrow) on chest CT.
