The relationship between Toxoplasma gondii infection and neoplasia, including ocular tumours, gliomas, meningiomas, pituitary gland adenomas, leukemia and lymphomas has been reported (Khurana et al. 2005). In these studies is not clear if Toxoplasma has a role in tumorigenesis or if it is an opportunistic agent whose development is enhanced by host immunosuppression.
