Neurological toxoplasmosis presenting as a brain tumor

Abstract

✓ A case of congenital toxoplasmic mass lesion is reported in an infant born to a mother who acquired Toxoplasma infection during her pregnancy. Radical surgery followed by chemotherapy appeared to be curative. Previously described cases of acquired and congenital mass lesions due to Toxoplasma infection are summarized. The possible delayed onset and the misleading features that congenital toxoplasmosis may display are stressed.
