Abstract: - Tuberculosis continues to be a significant health concern globally, particularly in regions with limited healthcare resources. While pulmonary tuberculosis is the most common form, extrapulmonary manifestations, including tuberculomas, present unique diagnostic challenges, especially when mimicking malignancies. Here, we report a rare case of a giant tuberculoma mimicking malignancy in a 7-year-old boy. The patient presented with nonspecific symptoms, including fever, weight loss, and headaches. Imaging studies revealed a large intracranial mass lesion suggestive of malignancy. However, histopathological examination following surgical excision revealed features consistent with tuberculoma. The patient responded well to anti-tubercular therapy and showed significant clinical improvement. This case underscores the importance of considering tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of intracranial mass lesions, particularly in endemic regions, even in paediatric patients. Early recognition and appropriate management are crucial for favourable outcomes in such cases.
Keywords: Tuberculoma, tuberculosis, paediatric, intracranial mass, differential diagnosis, case report.
