초록

Intramedullary spinal tuberculoma is a rare form of central nervous system tuberculosis. The authors presented a case of 41 years old male with intramedullary and intradural extramedullary tuberculoma of the thoracic spinal cord without systemic involvement. The preoperative diagnosis was a metastatic cancer. Subtotal removal of intradural extramedullary and intramedullary mass was performed and pathological diagnosis was tuberculosis granuloma. We suggest that Intramedullary spinal tuberculoma must be considered in the differential diagnosis of the spinal cord compressive lesions in our country.
