Abstract

Background: 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. Case Description: 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. Conclusion: Tuberculoma mimicking en-plaque meningioma should be considered in the differential diagnosis where TB is endemic.
