Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain demonstrates 2 enhancing masses, both
associated with vasogenic edema.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with and without contrast demonstrated enhancing masses suspicious for metastasis versus abscesses associated with vasogenic edema, without evidence of midline shift (Figure 1).
At low magnification (40x), mucicarmine special stain reveals small,
positive-staining cystic structures.

Special stain showed that these small cysts were positive for periodic acid-Schiff, Gomori's methenamine silver, and mucicarmine special stain (Figure 2), and negative for acid fast bacilli special stain.
