A retrospective analysis of clinicopathological data of 10 @entity1 with clinically unsuspected cerebral @entity3 was carried out. All @entity1 were young adult females. History of preceding pregnancy/abortion was forthcoming in 5 cases but none had a prior history of abnormal gestation. Features of raised intracranial @entity2701 followed by @entity1269 were the commonest presenting symptoms. A clinicoradiologic diagnosis of intracerebral @entity548 mass, either primary or secondary to @entity5 bleed, @entity49 or @entity2758 , was entertained in 8 out of 10 cases. In other two cases, ring enhancing lesions prompted the diagnosis of granulomatous masses. Eight @entity1 were operated upon, of whom two died after short hospital stay, and were autopsied. All had @entity548 masses noted at surgery/autopsy. Accurate diagnosis of @entity3 was established only by histologic examination of these @entity548 . This report emphasizes the importance of considering @entity3 as an important differential diagnosis of @entity1779 in @entity1 of @entity1 bearing age group. Measurement of serum/ @entity2841 level of HCG in suspected cases helps to implement early therapy. The diagnostic value of histopathologic examination of surgically resected @entity4461 in determining aetiology of intracerebral @entity548 masses is highlighted.
