摘要：

PURPOSE: A 30-year-old patient with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) had limbal nodules and multifocal choroidal lesions. METHODS: A biopsy of the limbal nodules was performed. RESULTS: The biopsy showed Cryptococcus neoformans surrounded by thick mucinous capsules without inflammatory cell infiltration. CONCLUSION: In the differential diagnosis of limbal mass in patients with AIDS, cryptococcal infection should be considered.
