A poorly enhancing heterogeneous lesion was evident in the right temporal lobe, and a densely calcified nodule was present in the subependymal region of the right frontal lobe (Figure 1).

Subsequent magnetic resonance (MR) imaging (Figure 2) performed (T2-weighted images TR/TE-4300/114 ms, T1-weighted images TR/TE-500/7.8 ms) showed a large lobulated lesion within the right temporal lobe, mainly on its medial aspect, including hippocampus and amygdala.

Large intramedullary spinal lesions were evident, one extending from the level of the C4 vertebra to T7 and another from T10 to T12, with fat signal on T1- and T2-weighted images and fat suppression (Figure 3), in keeping with spinal cord lipomas.
