Ill-defined mass in the left posterior temporal lobe with edema, internal T1 hyperintensities seen. On GRE, blooming due to internal hemorrhage. Ring enhancement in a cortical-based lesion.

ill defined mass occluding right upper lobe bronchus, note the distal collapse and "mucus bronchogram"- findings suggest malignancy
Note: This case has been tagged as "legacy" as it no longer meets image preparation and/or other case publication guidelines.
Case Discussion
In view of a lung mass and a cerebral focal lesion, the possibility of metastatic disease needs to be considered.
