Abstract
Sarcoidosis rarely presents as an intracranial mass lesion. We report the case of a patient presenting a disturbance of cognitive functions in whom CT and MRI demonstrated a large right fronto-temporal mass les ion with contrast enhancement and surrounding marked oedema, highly su ggestive of a brain tumour. The diagnosis of neurosarcoidosis was made after stereotactic biopsy of the lesion.
