Multiple intracranial tuberculomas mimicking brain metastases.

A 50-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with upper gastro-intestinal tract (GIT) bleeding, and complaining of severe headache and recurrent generalized tonic clonic seizures for the last year. Physical examination showed no focal neurological deficits. The patient was diagnosed with multiple brain metastases with occult primary depending on computerised tomography (CT) findings. Biopsy of enlarged left axillary lymph nodes showed caseating tuberculoid lymphadenitis compatible with tuberculosis. Intracranial lesions resolved completely on antituberculosis treatment.
