Cutaneous cryptococcosis – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1675111223

Mucocutaneous lesions in cryptococcosis occur almost exclusively as a result of systemic dissemination, and may precede signs of involvement of the central nervous system. Cutaneous lesions, most commonly papules, nodules or ulcers, are reported in about 10% of cases of cryptococcosis.
