was added:
Differential diagnosis in this case would include the following entities:
- Oligodendroglioma. This lesion can also manifest with the presence of multiple calcifications and erosion of the inner table of the calvaria, as well as lack of perilesional edema and similar variable enhancement. However, they are typically encountered in middle-aged adults, and it would be unusual to present in a 19-year-old man.
- Chondrosarcoma. It is very rare for this type of tumor to present as an intracranial mass and also in a young patient. However, the long-term history of epilepsy and the presence of rings and arcs calcifications raised the possibility of slow-growing rate chondrosarcoma.
- High-grade astrocytoma. This neoplasm tends to occur in patients between 40 to 50 years and very rarely shows calcifications and bone resorption.
