The "target sign": is it a specific sign of CNS tuberculoma?

J Bargalló1, J Berenguer, J García-Barrionuevo, B Ubeda, N Bargalló, C Cardenal, J M Mercader.   

Abstract

In brain lesions, the target sign has been defined as a central nidus of calcification or central enhancement surrounded by a ring of enhancement. It has been considered a pathognomonic finding of central nervous system (CNS) tuberculoma. The purpose of this report is to demonstrate that the target sign related to central enhancement is a nonspecific finding and may lead to erroneous diagnosis of CNS tuberculoma.
