Description
This color enhanced axial (cross sectional) T2 weighted MRI of the brain demonstrates a heterogenous tumor (blue) in the right (your left) parietal lobe which destroys the overlying calvarium (skull bone) and extends into the overlying scalp. This tumor represents a malignant form of an astrocytoma. It is a WHO grade IV tumor called a Glioblasstoma Multiforme (GBM). These are most commonly seen in the elderly and unfortunately are one of the most common astrocytomas. They carry a poor, short term survival. Image 1 of 3.
