Overview

Cavernous angioma appears very similar on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with calcified neoplastic and hemorrhagic lesions, most especially renal cell carcinoma, melanoma, pleomorphic xanthoastrocytomas, and oligodendrogliomas.

Differentiating Cavernous Angioma from other Diseases

Cavernous angioma can have a similar appearance in neuroimaging with other pathologies such as:

• Hemorrhagic lesion
• Calcified neoplastic lesions
• Renal cell carcinoma
• Melanoma
• Pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma
• Oligodendroglioma
