Central Nervous System (CNS) cryptococcosis is an opportunistic fungal infection that typically occurs in immunocompromised patients, such as patients infected with HIV, patients receiving corticosteroid and immunosuppressive therapy, or patients receiving organ transplants. CNS cryptococcosis is usually revealed by meningitis and encephalitis. Cerebellar cryptococcoma is a rare condition of infection by the Cryptococcus neoformans. We reported a case of a 19-year-old female adult admitted for the management of an HIV infection complicated by opportunistic infections with a cerebellar cryptococcoma mimicking lymphoma.
