Limited sequences through the brain show a relatively T2 hypointense lesion in left temporal lobe centred on the grey-white matter junction with surrounding perilesional oedema. Spectroscopy through the left temporal lobe lesion shows raised lipid and lactate peaks.

Complimentary HRCT of the chest shows multiple nodular opacities in left upper and lower lobes with multiple fibrotic / atelectatic bands. Pleural thickening / mild pleural effusion is seen. Few small mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes are seen with calcification in left hilar node – findings suggest likelihood of infective aetiology, possibly tuberculosis.
Case Discussion
Overall above findings suggest likelihood of tuberculoma in left temporal lobe.
