Cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed multiple dural-based enhancing lesions with cerebral edema (Figure 1).
Histological examination revealed multiple confluent necrotizing and nonnecrotizing granulomas with giant cells (multinucleated and Langhans' type).

Histological examination revealed multiple confluent necrotizing and nonnecrotizing granulomas with giant cells (multinucleated and Langhans' type) (Figure 2).
Follow-up MRI at the end of the second postoperative year shows regression of the lesions on unenhanced (a) and enhanced T1-weighted axial (c) and sagittal (d) images with cerebral edema on T2-weighted images (b).
