Intracranial Tuberculoma Mimicking Malignant Tumor: A Case Report
An 83-year-old man presented with multiple ring-enhancing nodular lesions on contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain. A metastatic brain tumor was initially suspected, but a systematic examination, revealed no primary lesion. A surgical biopsy demonstrated pathological features consistent with tuberculosis, and the patient was transferred to our hospital.
