Hi and welcome to HCM.
it depends on how big and how fast is growing this tuberculoma. also is it symptomatic or not. usually tubercuklomas in live rmay be resustant to medical therapy and only surgical resection may be enough for treatment,but this all evaluated and if there is size progression,pain of fever then you should consider surgery and postoperative antituberculotic treatment.
Wish you good health.
