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

- Hemorrhagic lesion
- Calcified neoplastic lesions
- renal cell carcinoma
- melanoma
- pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma
