Cerebral cryptococcomas are described in a 5-year-old mixed-breed cow without manifestations of systemic cryptococcosis. Two cryptococcomas were observed grossly. Microscopical examination revealed accumulations of yeast that were morphologically consistent with Cryptococcus neoformans. Immunohistochemistry characterized the organisms as C. neoformans var. grubii. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
