Primary central nervous system vasculitis mimicking a brain tumor was diagnosed in a young woman. Prompt treatment with corticosteroids led to significant recovery, highlighting the importance of considering vasculitis in complex neurological cases.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Immunology
- Pathology
Background:
- Primary central nervous system vasculitis can present with diverse neurological symptoms.
- Tumor-like lesions on MRI can complicate the diagnosis of vasculitis.
- Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for favorable outcomes.

Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...
