MDR Tuberculomas Mimicking Brain Tumour.

This is a case of 19 year old male with rapidly increasing lesion(despite ATT)  in the parieto-occipital region and extensive edema which was initially diagnosed as mitotic etiology but later on histopathology and surgical evaluation turned out to be tuberculomas, possibly multidrug resistant tuberculomas.

Hepatic Tuberculomas-CT

TB is a growing problem worldwide; consequently, it is vital to recognize the more unusual presentations of this disease. Intra-abdominal TB has a high mortality, but it is a difficult diagnosis to make, often requiring laparotomy. Liver tuberculoma is, in particular, rare, with fewer than 100 cases reported in the literature, most of which are secondary and associated with miliary TB. This is a case of 32 year old female with caviating right upper lobe lesion with miliary mottling and hepatic tuberculomas. Mediastinal lymphnodes are also seen.
