title: Cerebral gumma.
abstract: A patient presented with symptoms from a tumour in the frontal region. Syphilis had been treated 15 years earlier but the serological tests were inconclusive on this admission. The CT-scan showed oedema surrounding a contrast enhancing tumour. Angiography showed displaced but otherwise normal vessels. Histologically the lesion proved to be a gumma.
