T1- and T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging sequences of the spine demonstrated a heterogeneously hyperintense extra-axial epidural mass at T11 with mass effect. Biopsy of the lesion revealed benign soft tissue with necrosis and caseating granulomatous inflammation consistent with tuberculoma. The patient underwent laminectomy and debulking of mass for decompression and was subsequently began antitubercular treatment with good neurological outcome.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>LESSONS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To the best of the authors\u2019 knowledge, there are only a handful of microbiologically and radiographically confirmed cases of spinal epidural tuberculoma in English literature. These lesions are rare and difficult to clinically and radiographically characterize in the absence of systemic pulmonary TB symptoms. Tuberculoma is an important differential for a spinal epidural mass, particularly because resection with systemic antitubercular treatment results in symptom resolution.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/case22376","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,13]],"date-time":"2023-03-13T11:23:05Z","timestamp":1678706585000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Spinal epidural tuberculoma with osseous involvement: illustrative case"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Hershel W.","family":"Cannon","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Neurosurgery and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Weaver","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Neurosurgery and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anand","family":"Kaul","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Neurosurgery and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ahmed","family":"Lazim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pathology, Temple University Hospital, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"b1","series-title":"Clin Microbiol Rev","first-page":"243","article-title":"Central nervous system tuberculosis: pathogenesis and clinical aspects","volume":"21","author":"Rock RB","year":"2008","unstructured":"Rock RB, Olin M, Baker CA, Molitor TW, Peterson PK.
