title: [Cerebral toxoplasmosis primarily diagnosed as a tumor].
abstract: Three cases of cerebral toxoplasmosis as the presenting manifestation of AIDS are reported. The initial diagnoses were brain tumors because of the cerebral mass lesions which resembled glioblastoma. In the light of the increasing occurrence of AIDS, attention is drawn to cerebral toxoplasmosis as a differential diagnosis from glioblastoma multiforme.
