 AB    A pineal mass in a patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
       (AIDS) is reported. Computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a nodular
       mass in the pineal region with foci of calcification and obstruction of
       the aqueduct mimicking a pineal tumor. At autopsy, the brain revealed a
       well-circumscribed lesion with central necrosis in the pineal region
       suggestive of toxoplasma and involving the periaqueductal area.
       Susceptibility of a patient with AIDS to opportunistic infections should
       be considered.
