Diffusion-weighted and conventional magnetic resonance imaging in cerebral cryptococcoma.

T L Ho1, H J Lee, K W Lee, W L Chen.   

Abstract

A case of cryptococcoma involving the right cerebral hemisphere is reported. The diffusion-weighted image shows hypointensity in the central cavity of the cryptococcoma, while apparent diffusion coefficient maps show hyperintensity. The imaging features of an intracerebral cryptococcoma mimic that of a central necrotic brain tumor, rather than a pyogenic brain abscess.
