Overview

Typically metastases are sharply demarcated from the surrounding parenchyme and usually there is a zone of peritumoral edema out of proportion with the tumor size.
Common intracranial sites associated with subependymal giant cell astrocytoma include:^[1]
Cerebrum (80%)

Typically well-demarcated with the exception of melanoma metastases.
