Two cases of intracranial tuberculoma treated by us and histologically proven at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital are reported. Both cases had a supratentorial lesion and had no extracranial tuberculosis. Tuberculoma appears to be relatively uncommon in Nigeria. There are some differences in the clinical picture in Nigerian cases compared to others reported.
