Serological test for HIV was negative. Cerebral scan showed intracranial mass lesions occupying the left back of the head region, with central calcification, an oedema and a four-ventricle dilatation. Histopathological examination after neurological operation revealed a tuberculosis. The progress was favourable after administration of antituberculous chemotherapy Although tuberculoma remains one of the causes of cerebellar tumour potentially curable, its diagnosis cannot be clearly established without neuroimaging and histology
