Mycobacterium genavense (M. genavense) is a rare, non-tuberculous organism that commonly leads to gastrointestinal infections in immunocompromised patients. Only two cases of intracranial M. genavense infection have been reported to date. We describe a third case of M. genavense granuloma mimicking a right parietal intracranial mass, and review the literature on this exceedingly rare pathology.
日内瓦分枝杆菌（M. genavense）是一种罕见的非结核性微生物，通常会导致免疫功能低下患者发生胃肠道感染。迄今为止，仅报告了两例颅内日内瓦分枝杆菌感染病例。我们描述了第三例模仿右顶叶颅内肿块的日内瓦分枝杆菌肉芽肿病例，并回顾了关于这种极其罕见病理学的文献。
