Female, 74 years old, with brain lesion, examination for surgical planning. A T2 hyperintense masslike lesion with a thin T2 hypointense rim is evident situated within the left postcentral gyrus. The lesion measures 23 x 16 mm in the axial plane. The lesion expands the postcentral gyrus with mild local mass effect. FLAIR hyperintensity suggesting edema surrounds the lesion and spreads medially towards the paracentral lobule and inferiorly to involve the parietal lobe and a small portion of the posterior frontal lobe.Numerous scattered small T2 hyperintense lesions, and ill-defined periventricular hyperintensity, may reflect the sequelae of microvascular ischemia. No abnormal extra-axial collections are seen. The ventricles are normal in size morphology.
Limited imaging for surgical planning purposes demonstrates a masslike lesion within the left postcentral gyrus.
