Key Points

The aim is to highlight atypical MRI features of cerebral toxoplasmosis that complicate diagnosis.
Detailed MRI imaging of cerebral lesions was performed.
A case study approach was used to analyze the findings.
Diffusion restriction observed on MRI, mimicking CNS lymphoma.
Traditional diagnostic approaches misidentified the condition as a pyogenic abscess.
