Abstract
- Inflammatory demyelinating diseases including multiple sclerosis (MS) are usually diagnosed based on characteristic clinical and radiological findings. However, some demyelinating diseases have presented with growing large mass-like lesions, and it is difficult to differentiate those demyelinating lesions from brain tumors. We report a case of biopsy-proven MS mimicking brain tumor. This case suggests that inflammatory demyelinating diseases including MS have a wide spectrum and can present with the same radiological features as brain tumors such as lymphoma or high-grade glioma.
