Resumo
Objetivo: Relatar um caso clínico de uma paciente que apresentou abscesso cerebral secundário à presença de uma neoplasia cerebral. Detalhamento de caso: Paciente do sexo feminino, com 50 anos, foi admitida em Hospital Universitário, com histórico de cefaleia diária, com início há 3 semanas, de caráter progressivo, que não cedia com uso de sintomáticos. O quadro evoluiu com perda de força, parestesia, paralisia facial e prejuízo da fala. Foi realizada tomografia computadorizada do crânio que revelou lesão circunscrita com edema perilesional em região temporoparietal esquerda. Em cirurgia para biópsia da lesão constatou-se a presença de abscesso, sendo drenado. Comprovada neoplasia pelo resultado da biópsia, a paciente foi encaminhada para tratamento em centro especializado em oncologia do Estado. Considerações finais: O acompanhamento do presente caso mostrou-se interessante por sua raridade, tendo em vista a presença do abscesso em decorrência da existência de uma neoplasia no mesmo local, sendo uma ocorrência dificilmente encontrada na literatura, principalmente devido ao fato de a bactéria colonizadora ser o Staphylococcus aureus, que é uma bactéria da pele.
