-
MRI axial FLAIR showing a relatively well circumscribed mass involving the temporal lobe and insular cortex, without convincing enhancement, and minimal restricted diffusion.[1]
-
MRI including post contrast sequences demonstrates a large mass involving the majority of the left frontal lobe, which exerts significant mass effect resulting in midline shift and effacement of the frontal horn of the lateral ventricle. The mass is heterogeneous, but predominantly hypointense on T1 with a surrounding mantle of tumor edema. Following contrast there is heterogeneous moderate enhancement.[2]

A left frontal lobe mass with central haemorrhagic component is present (intrinsic high T1, low T2) with a peripheral region of enhancement and high T2 signal. Some of the enhancement may be in reaction to the haemorrhage, depending on the time course.[3]
