How Does Cryptococcoma Differ from Other Granulomatous Inflammations?
Cryptococcoma can be differentiated from other granulomatous inflammations such as tuberculosis or sarcoidosis by the presence of encapsulated yeast cells. Tuberculosis typically features caseating granulomas with acid-fast bacilli, while sarcoidosis lacks necrosis and infectious agents. Special staining and culture techniques are essential for definitive diagnosis.
