AB A pineal mass in a patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
(AIDS) is reported. Computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a nodular
mass in the pineal region with foci of calcification and obstruction of
the aqueduct mimicking a pineal tumor. At autopsy, the brain revealed a
well-circumscribed lesion with central necrosis in the pineal region
suggestive of toxoplasma and involving the periaqueductal area.
Susceptibility of a patient with AIDS to opportunistic infections should
be considered.
