Ami K. Mankodi, MD, DM, Anil D. Desai, FRCP, Rajiv S. Mathur, MD, DNB and Fali F. Poncha, MD

From the Departments of Neurology (Drs. Desai, Mankodi, and Poncha) and Chest Medicine (Dr. Mathur), Jaslok Hospital & Research Center, Mumbai, India.

Address correspondence and reprint requests to Dr. Ami K. Mankodi, Department of Neurology, University of Rochester Medical Center, P.O. Box 673, 601 Elmwood Avenue, Rochester, NY 14642.

We discuss a patient with sarcoidosis presenting with cranial neuropathy and a cerebral mass lesion evident on imaging. Also, we review from the literature six patients with sarcoidosis presenting with cerebral mass lesion. We emphasize the diagnostic role of Mantoux test site biopsy in patients with dominant or isolated neurologic presentation because the involved sites are not easily accessible and Kveim's test antigen is not commercially available.

Received December 24, 1997. Accepted in final form May 29, 1998.
