Extra-axial tuberculoma mimicking brain tumor on MRI: A rare case in an immunocompetent adult [PDF]
Mass-like extra-axial tuberculoma is rare and can be a diagnostic challenge because it mimics a brain tumor on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This highlights the critical need for thorough and detailed imaging analysis to differentiate between these ...

Iatrogenic Cushing Syndrome to Facial Nerve Palsy: Via Intracranial Tuberculoma-An Interesting Journey [PDF]
Isolated Facial nerve palsy is a less common neurological manifestation of intracranial tuberculoma. Again, tuberculoma can arise following development of Cushing syndrome after prolonged intake of steroids due to origin of immunosuppressed state.

A rare case of hepatic tuberculoma in an immunocompetent patient
Hepatic tuberculoma is an uncommon form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TB). It is usually a part of disseminated disease such as miliary TB. Localized TB of the liver in the form of macronodular tuberculoma or an abscess is rare.[1] Clinicians should be
