There is a lobulated intra-axial mass of mixed density in the right frontal lobe measuring (5.8 x 5.5 x 5 cm), composed of hypodense cystic areas/isodense areas to the cortical grey matter with moderate enhancement, and central/peripheral calcification. Surrounding vasogenic edema is noted with a mass effect on the midline structures and subfalcine herniation.
Case Discussion
CT Features are suggestive of an oligodendroglioma.
Oligodendroglioma is considered the third most common glioma accounting for 2%–5% of primary brain tumors and 5%–18% of all glial neoplasms 1. On CT it appears as a mass of a mixed density due to calcification, cystic degeneration +/-hemorrhage.
