Abstract
signal intensity on T1-and T2-weighted sequences with no contrast enhancement after gadolinium injection in early and delayed sequences, 3) while this case showed high signal intensity on T2-images and late gadolinium enhancement, rendering the histopathological evaluation the key feature for an accurate diagnosis. 1) Surgical removal is the gold standard of treatment.
