PET-CT of a tuberculoma

A tuberculoma is a clinical manifestation of tuberculosis which conglomerates tubercles into a firm lump, and so can mimic cancer tumors of many types in medical imaging studies.[1][2] They often arise within individuals in whom a primary tuberculosis infection is not well controlled.[3] When tuberculomas arise intracranially, they represent a manifestation of CNS tuberculosis.[3] Since these are evolutions of primary complex, the tuberculomas may contain caseum or calcifications.

With the passage of time, Mycobacterium tuberculosis can transform into crystals of calcium. These can affect any organ such as the brain,[4][5] intestine,[6][7][8] ovaries,[9][10] breast,[11][12][13] lungs,[14][15] esophagus,[16] pancreas,[17] bones,[18][19] and many others. Even with guideline-directed treatment they often persist for months to years.[3]
