Intramedullary diffuse tubercular lesion resembling glioma.

Sir, Of the various forms of spinal tuberculosis, intramedullary spinal tuberculomas (IMT) are least common (2/100,000 of all tuberculosis).1 We recently encountered a case, which was diagnosed as glioma after imaging was done, leading to neurosurgical intervention, which later turned out to be a tubercular lesion. This case report underscores the importance of keeping a high degree of suspicion for tuberculosis in an endemic area as ours.
