1/30
Dati demografici:
38 anni, Maschio
Indicazione:
Seizure
Reperti
- T1 hypointense, T2 hyperintense expansile mass extending to the cortex in the left superior frontal gyrus
- Mixed hyperintense and isointense internal FLAIR signal
- No corresponding enhancement, restricted diffusion, or susceptibility artifact
- Mild corresponding local mass effect without midline shift or evidence of herniation or hydrocephalus
Immagini annotate e illustrazioni
The T2-FLAIR mismatch sign: the lesion demonstrates internal T2 signal hyperintensity (red arrow) contrasted to relatively hypointense FLAIR signal (yellow arrow).
Diagnosi
IDH-mutant astrocytoma
Diagnosi differenziale
- Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor (DNET) - This case is actually a very good look for a DNET, specifically bubbly internal T2 signal hyperintensity, signal suppression on FLAIR, and lack of contrast enhancement. DNETs are often smaller than the tumor in this case
- Ganglioglioma - These tumors are also often peripheral, but commonly enhance and have associated calcification. These tumors more frequently involve the temporal lobes
- Oligodendroglioma - These tumors may also be peripheral, they commonly calcify, and they sometimes enhance. The T2-FLAIR mismatch sign (hyperintense T2 signal contrasted with iso- or hypointense FLAIR signal) is typical for 1p19q intact astrocytomas, but NOT typical for oligodendrogliomas
Perle cliniche
- Any peripheral tumor can present with seizures
- The T2-FLAIR mismatch sign can be seen with both astrocytomas and DNETs, but is not typical for oligodendrogliomas
