Expanding spectrum of toxoplasma gondii: Thymoma and toxoplasmic encephalitis

Abstract

In this brief report, we describe a 76-year-old patient with thymoma who underwent craniotomy for a left parietal lobe mass with pathologic findings consistent with Toxoplasma gondii encephalitis in the absence of any features of thymoma with immunodeficiency/Good's syndrome. His clinical course suggested likely Toxoplasma reactivation.
