Cerebral Tuberculoma in Renal Transplant Recipient treated in a Tertiary Care Hospital of Brazil - Case Report and Literature Review

Cerebral tuberculoma is characterized by the formation of an expanding intracranial lesion that occurs as a result of hematogenous spread from a primary focus of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. Cerebral tuberculoma is a rare entity, constituting 5.5% of intracranial expansive processes observed in autopsies and there are few reports in the literature. The aim of this study is to present a case report of cerebral tuberculoma in a kidney transplant recipient and perform a literature review on the subject.
