Abstract
We present the unusual presentation of a giant brain tuberculoma which MRI led us to believe was a malignant tumor. Computed Tomography revealed bone infiltration. Positive diagnosis could be established on the basis of the pathology results of a brain biopsy or detection of DNA of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the PCR study.
