Plain-English summary
A 3-year-old male Dobermann was brought to the vet after experiencing two months of vomiting. During examination, a suspicious ulcerated lesion that looked like a tumor was found in the stomach. Tests revealed that the cause was a fungal infection called Cryptococcus neoformans, which led to inflammation. Unfortunately, the dog did not survive, but the findings helped clarify the diagnosis.

Abstract
An ulcerated lesion resembling a tumour in the lesser curvature of the stomach of a 3-year-old male Dobermann pinscher was found to be caused by Cryptococcus neoformans. The dog had been vomiting for two months and had slight leucocytosis and anaemia. Biopsies of the ulcerated lesion revealed granulomatous inflammation and many cryptococci, which were particularly prominent in PAS and mucicarmine stained sections. No other lesions were found at necropsy.
