FIG1
Head CT showed a large region of hypoattenuation centered within the left frontal lobe with a 9 mm midline shift and effacement of the anterior horns of the lateral ventricles (Figure 1).
Brain MRI shows peripherally enhancing lesion noted anteriorly on the left extending to the cortical surface with new significant surrounding vasogenic edema

Post-tumor resection MRI status was significant for a resection cavity anteriorly on the left, with no definite residual enhancement (Figure 3).
Post-treatment changes with no malignant cells to suggest metastasis.
