A case of a previously healthy 7-year-old girl with a left frontoparietal tumor identified as an Acanthamoeba-induced granuloma is reported, and the literature on Acanthamoeba meningoencephalitis is reviewed. Unlike most reported cases, the Acanthamoeba central nervous system infection presented in this girl as a discrete tumor without meningeal involvement or diffuse encephalitis. A favorable outcome was obtained following total excision of the mass and treatment with ketoconazole.
报告了一例先前健康的7岁女孩，其左额顶叶肿瘤被确诊为棘阿米巴引起的肉芽肿，并对棘阿米巴性脑膜脑炎的文献进行了综述。与大多数报道的病例不同，该女孩的棘阿米巴中枢神经系统感染表现为一个孤立的肿瘤，没有脑膜受累或弥漫性脑炎。肿块完全切除并接受酮康唑治疗后取得了良好的效果。
