Relapsing-remitting tumefactive multiple sclerosis.

Tumefactive multiple sclerosis (MS) is a rare form of demyelinating disease. The natural course of the disease has been characterized as presenting with a mass-like demyelinating lesion converting to typical relapsing-remitting disease with future exacerbations. Herein we describe a case of a patient whom over a six-year period developed relapsing-remitting tumefactive MS. The natural course, pathophysiology, prognosis and diagnosis are briefly discussed.
