Abstract: Primary angiitis of the central nervous (PACNS) is an uncommon entity; tumor-like presentation is a rare manifestation of these diseases and must be considered in the differential diagnosis of cerebral space occupying lesions (CSOL). We add two cases to the literature. Methods Case reports of two patients with tumor-like presentation of PACNS. Results Case one was a 28 years old male with history of testicular seminoma, who developed tonic-clonic seizures. An MRI showed a right fronto-temporal mass. Case two was a 29 year old woman who had multiple complex partial seizures. An MRI revealed multiple lesions with heterogeneous contrast-enhanced pattern in left frontal and temporal lobes. Both cases had PACNS in pathological examinations, and received immunosuppressive therapy.
