Comparison of CT scans realized before and after two months of treatment with a BRAF inhibitor. A, B, C: CT realized on April 2012. D, E, F: CT realized on June 2012 A, D: Reduction of tissue infiltration around malar bone destruction, especially on the sinusal component. B, E (after injection of contrast agent): Complete regression of mediastinal lymph nodes in station 4R. C, F (bone window): Left iliac bone regeneration. Notice cortical bone regeneration of arcuate line of ilium.

The malar mass regressed by 42% (60 x 47 x 53 mm versus 46 x 42 x 45 mm) (Figure 1A,B). Mediastinal lymph nodes showed a complete response (Figure 1B,E). Bone regeneration was seen on pelvis (Figure 1C,F) and spine.
