Abstract
A case of multiple brain tuberculosis in 32-year-old men was described. The diagnosis was made on the result of histopathological examination of excised tuberculoma. Basing on the described case, current possibilities of tuberculoma diagnostic difficulties, caused by unspecific clinical manifestation and atypical radiological lesions, was drawn.
