The diagnosis of a typical acute intracerebral haematoma is comparatively specific with computed tomography. Three cases are presented to illustrate computed tomographic similarities between intracerebral haematomas and intracranial neoplasms. In the appropriate clinical setting, an incorrect diagnosis may be reached unless these similarities are borne in mind.
