Abstract
BackgroundGhost tumors spontaneously disappear or decrease to less than 70% before definitive diagnosis and treatment (other than steroid treatment). We report our experience with a patient who had not received steroids, and the challenges of managing a ghost tumor from a developing country.Case presentationA 71 year old female with frontal mass, right proptosis, and frontal headache. Mass was confirmed by cranial CT scan but entirely resolved while the patient was awaiting surgery. Further follow-up at 6 months revealed clinical and MRI evidence of recurrence. Ghost tumors are no myths and can recur!ConclusionIt is imperative to closely follow up with patients who have complete resolution of brain tumors prior to definitive treatment.
