Epilepsy associated tumors: Review article

Figure 8 Pilocytic astrocytoma World Health Organization grade I of the right frontal lobe. Axial FLAIR T2-w (A) and coronal lR T1-w (B) images show a cortical-subcortical lesion, with cystic component, with minimal mass effect. The tumor appears well de-marcated (C) on 3D sagittal sequence and displays nodular and homogeneous en-hancement on post-contrast axial T1-w images (D). Perfusion study doesn’t show any rCBV increase within the lesion (E). MR Spectroscopy (MRS) study (F) reveals elevation in choline and reduction in NAA. (G) Histological examination shows a tumor com-posed of areas rich in myxoid material, elongated glial elements with uniform nuclei and numerous eosinophilic granular bodies.
