[Unusual computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of cerebellar metastasis]

In a 68-year old patient with brainstem/cerebellum abnormalities, a left cerebellar mass was demonstrated. It was characterized by hyperdensities in computed tomography; MRI revealed conspicuously low signal intensities on T2 weighting and isointense signal values with a peripheral gadolinium enhancement on T1 weighting. The histological finding was a metastasis of a mucus-forming adenocarcinoma which had originated in a tumor of the ascending colon.
