Multiple sclerosis (MS) can rarely mimic brain tumors or infections on imaging. This case highlights demyelination with central necrosis presenting as ring-enhancing lesions.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neuroimaging
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Multiple sclerosis (MS) presents with diverse clinical and radiological findings.
  • Cerebral lesions in MS can occasionally mimic other pathologies like tumors or abscesses.

Observation:

  • A 43-year-old woman presented with numerous ring-enhancing cystic lesions in the brain and cerebellum.
  • Neuroimaging findings strongly suggested a metastatic or infectious cause.

Findings:

  • Brain biopsy revealed subacute demyelination with central necrosis.
  • Histopathology confirmed demyelinating disease despite atypical imaging features.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering MS in the differential diagnosis of ring-enhancing lesions.
