Resumo: Cryptococcus spp affects mainly dogs and cats, however, there are reports in other animal species, such as guinea pigs. The objective of this study is to report a case of a lesion by cryptococcosis in a guinea pig's auricles. The animal had firm nodules under the touch in both auricles, being one of them with a granulomatous aspect, both ulcerated, with serosanguineous secretion, pain, and associated itching. For the diagnosis, a biopsy was performed for histopathological examination and after a result suggestive of fungal dermatitis by Cryptococcus spp., treatment with itraconazole and adjuvant therapy with Echinacea angustifolia 6CH and Carduus marianus 6CH was initiated, which demonstrated to be effective. Furthermore, we suggest the inclusion of cryptococcosis as a differential diagnosis in cases of auricular lesions in this species.

El objetivo de este estudio es reportar un caso de lesión por criptococosis en las aurículas de un cobayo. El animal presentaba nódulos firmes a la palpación en ambas aurículas, uno de ellos de aspecto granulomatoso, ambos ulcerados, con secreción serosanguinolenta, dolor y prurito asociado. Para el diagnóstico se realizó biopsia para examen histopatológico y ante resultado sugestivo de dermatitis fúngica por Cryptococcus spp., se inició tratamiento con itraconazol y terapia adyuvante con Echinacea angustifolia 6CH y Carduus marianus 6CH, que resultó ser eficaz. Además, sugerimos la inclusión de la criptococosis como diagnóstico diferencial en los casos de lesiones auriculares en esta especie.Cryptococcus spp acomete principalmente cães e gatos, contudo existem relatos em outras espécies animais, como porquinhos-da-índia. Objetiva-se com este estudo relatar um caso de lesão por criptococose em aurículas de porquinho-da-índia. O animal apresentava nódulos firmes à palpação nas duas aurículas, sendo um deles com aspecto granulomatoso, ambos ulcerados, com secreção serosanguinolenta, dor e prurido associado. Para o diagnóstico foi realizada biópsia para exame histopatológico e após resultado sugestivo de dermatite fúngica por Cryptococcus spp., instituiu-se tratamento com itraconazol e terapia adjuvante com Echinacea angustifólia 6CH e Carduus marianus 6CH, o qual demonstrou ser efetivo.
