Tumefactive demyelination: Clinical outcomes, lesion evolution and treatments
Objective Large demyelinating lesions with possible mass effect (tumefactive multiple sclerosis or tumefactive demyelination) can be mistaken for tumour-like space-occupying lesions suggesting a malignant outcome.

Decisive role of brain biopsy in atypical tumefactive demyelinating lesions: A case report [PDF]
In neuroimaging, tumefactive demyelinating lesions (TDLs), which are rare inflammatory lesions of the central nervous system, can sometimes resemble infectious or malignant processes. Radiologic distinction is frequently made more difficult by their huge

Tumefactive multiple sclerosis in Taiwan. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is less common in Asia, including Taiwan, and some characteristics of MS in Asians differ from those of Caucasians. Tumefactive brain lesion is even rarer in MS patients.
