Solitary Pineal Gland Tuberculoma Mimicking Germinoma: A Case Report.

Mohamed Tarek El-Diasty¹, Azza Sami Reda¹, Razan Kamal Daghistani¹.

Abstract

We are reporting a case of 16-year-old boy presented with severe headache and blurred vision. MRI showed a pineal region mass that was initially thought to be a germinoma. Endoscopic biopsy revealed tuberculoma which is an exceedingly rare and unusual location for CNS tuberculoma. The patient was treated successfully with anti-tuberculous therapy.
