| Résumé : | In patients with acquired immuno-deficiency syndrome, the differential diagnosis between primary brain lymphoma and toxoplasma encephalitis is not radiologically always straightforward, especially in the presence of a solitary cerebral lesion. In this context, involvement of the corpus callosum is almost exclusively associated with primary brain lymphoma. We describe here an HIV-infected patient who presented with a single and large cerebral lesion affecting the corpus callosum, suggestive of primary brain lymphoma on MRI-scan but who nonetheless responded clinically and radiologically to an anti-toxoplasma drug trial confirming the diagnosis of toxoplasma encephalitis. |
