Tuberculoma mimicking en-plaque meningioma is a rare variant of tuberculoma. A few cases were reported in the literature. The radiological appearance can be mistakenly diagnosed as en-plaque meningioma.
We report a rare case of a 45-year-old male with tuberculoma mimicking en-plaque meningioma who underwent surgical excision followed by anti-tuberculosis (TB) medications. Follow-up brain imaging after three months showed a favorable outcome.
Tuberculoma mimicking en-plaque meningioma should be considered in the differential diagnosis where TB is endemic.
模仿斑块状脑膜瘤的结核瘤是结核瘤的一种罕见变体。文献中报道了少数病例。其影像学表现可能被误诊为斑块状脑膜瘤。
我们报告一例罕见病例,一名45岁男性患有模仿斑块状脑膜瘤的结核瘤,接受了手术切除,随后进行抗结核治疗。三个月后的脑部随访影像学检查显示预后良好。
在结核病流行地区的鉴别诊断中,应考虑模仿斑块状脑膜瘤的结核瘤。
