Most cases of cranial tuberculosis are secondary to tuberculosis foci in other parts of the body; primary cranial tuberculosis is extremely rare. Herein, we report a case of primary cranial tuberculosis. A 50-year-old man presented to our hospital with a mass in the right frontotemporal region. Chest computed tomography and abdominal ultrasonography findings were normal. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed a mass in the right frontotemporal skull and scalp with cystic changes, adjacent bone destruction, and meningeal invasion. The patient underwent surgery and was diagnosed with primary cranial tuberculosis; he was treated with antitubercular therapy postoperatively. No recurrent masses or abscesses were observed during the follow-up.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.22-0646","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,13]],"date-time":"2023-03-13T12:30:50Z","timestamp":1678710650000},"page":"906-910","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Case
