Mycobacterium Genavense Granuloma Mimicking a Brain Tumor: A Case Report

Mycobacterium genavense (M. genavense) is a rare, non-tuberculous organism that commonly leads to gastrointestinal infections in immunocompromised patients. Only two cases of intracranial M. genavense infection have been reported to date. We describe a third case of M. genavense granuloma mimicking a right parietal intracranial mass, and review the literature on this exceedingly rare pathology.
