摘要
Cryptococcal infection of intraabdominal organs or tissues is extremely rare. Herein we report a child with mesenteric cryptococcal lymphadenitis who presented with an acute abdomen misdiagnosed as acute appendicitis. Definitive diagnosis was established with 2nd look and lymph node biopsy. Clinicians should remember that cryptococcal infection of mesenteric lymph nodes may rarely mimic an acute abdomen and cause delay in diagnosis.
