Abstract
A tuberculoma is a relatively rare variant of tuberculosis, and sometimes resembles a meningioma in the first instance, both radiologically and in gross appearance. Here we report a case of 59 year old man presenting with pyrexia of unknown origin since 1 month. On MRI brain, it was suggestive of meningioma, but CSF analysis was suggestive of tuberculosis and patient responded with anti tubercular treatment. Keywords: Tuberculoma, Meningioma, Pyrexia of unknown origin.
