Initial brain MRI showing right sided extra axial high parietal parasagittal mass in (
A
) transverse plain, T1-weighted image; (
B
) transverse plain, T2-weighted image; and (
C
) coronal plain, T1-weighted image. Note the marginal heterogeneous enhancement of the tumor after the administration of intravenous contrast (

The tumor consisted of mature cartilage tissue, several fragments of bone tissue, and mature adipose tissue ( Fig. 2 ).
Brain MRI scans, four months postoperatively, (
A
) transverse plain, T1-weighted image; (
B
) transverse plain, T2-weighted image; (
C
) coronal plain, T1-weighted image. Note how there is no recurrence or additional intracranial mass in the images. MRI, magnetic resonance imaging.
