Radiological Tumor-Like Image in Multiple Sclerosis

Abstract

Tumefactive tumor-like radiological image in multiple sclerosis (MS) is not a common finding in magnetic resonance imaging. This presentation poses an extra challenge to the already difficult diagnosis of MS. We report on a clinical MS case with this unusual radiological presentation and the diagnostic difficulties in this patient. We also discuss our case in comparison to the world literature, and we comment on the relative lack of Brazilian papers on the subject.
