key information

source: Journal of Medical Case Reports

year: 2010

authors: D. Landau, N. Avgeropoulos, J. Ma

summary/abstract:

Introduction:
Cerebral amyloidoma is an infrequently recognized condition that can be confused with a more malignant etiology. Few cases have been reported. We present a case report and a review of the literature.

Case Cresentation:
Our patient was a 64-year-old Caucasian man who was incidentally discovered to have a brain mass. He was found to have a cerebral amyloidoma.

Conclusion:
After discovery of the true etiology of his brain abnormality, it was determined that our patient had a more benign disease than was initially feared. Cases such as this demonstrate why consideration of this disorder is important.
