Innumerable hypercellular brain mets

64 yr old male, unsure where mets originated— hilar mass noted & awaiting EBUS biopsy. Adrenal mass notes & awaiting biopsy in IR.

Known PMH smoker, etoh, COPD. Presuming primarily untreated lung cancer?

Despite intubated, on light sedation, patient nods/gestures appropriately & follows commands.

Rad Onc is following case as well as palliative.

10 year old male patient, presents with multiple neuronal symptoms. TAC revealed 4 tumoral masses at the thalamus and one cyst-like tumor at the spinal cord. No diagnosis at the moment. Opinions? #casetodonate

Axial (image 1) and sagittal (image 2) head CT shows a hyperdense 4th ventricular mass (arrow). What is your presumed diagnosis?

Axial (image 1) and coronal (image 2) head CT shows a lobulated mass (arrow) in the right tectal region causing massive obstructive hydrocephalus. If this represents an atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (ATRT), what other imaging is recommended?

Axial (image 1) and coronal (image 2) T1-weighted, axial T2 weighted (image 3), and axial T1-weighted postcontrast (image 4) MRI show the lobulated mass arising from the glomus of the left choroid plexus. The mass diffusely enhances. Choroid plexus papilloma and choroid plexus carcinoma are the most common choroid plexus tumors. They are most commonly diagnosed in children younger than 5 years of age. Papillomas cannot be reliably distinguished from carcinoma. However, the homogeneous enhancement pattern is more common in patients with papilloma.
