This paper presents a male, immunocompetent case aged 62-year-old with cryptococcal granuloma in the basal ganglia. No cryptococcal infection occurred in other areas. The diagnosis was made by biopsy. Cryptococcal granuloma was tough and unsuitable for sterotactic biopsy. The patient died of postoperative bleeding and we suggest avoiding stereotactic biopsy of lesions suspected of being cryptococcal granulomas.
