A case of multiple intracerebral mass lesions is presented in which significant "improvement" in the computed tomographic appearance was noted following steroid and radiation therapies.

It seems that the computed tomographic appearance of torulomas can mimic those of other intracranial mass lesions and can be greatly altered by steroid and radiation therapies, either singly or in combination.
