Intramedulary Tuberculoma Mimicking Primary CNS Lymphoma JNNP 75:1636-1638, Mohit,A.A.,et al, 2004 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Here, we have described a patient with a known history of C3 AIDS presenting with lower extremity weakness and eventual myelopathy who was later diagnosed as having intramedullary PCNSL after detection of EBV DNA in his CSF. After failing to respond to radiotherapy, he underwent a spinal cord biopsy revealing intramedullary tuberculoma. This case illustrates the risk of misdiagnosis with this assay and the importance of histological confirmation of a pathological lesion prior to implementation of therapy.
