Differential diagnosis for angiocentric glioma.

Entity	CT findings	MRI findings
Angiocentric glioma	Temporal lobe most common Low/High density No contrast enhancement Calcification is uncommon	T1WI: heterogeneous based on the different composition, cortical hyper-intense “rim” T2WI/FLAIR: hyper-intense signal, stalk- like extension to the cerebral ventricle Solid or partial cystic (8.47%) lesion Without/Weak contrast enhancement
Ganglioglioma	Temporal lobe most common Predominantly cystic, well-circumscribed masses Calcification is common Fifty percent show contrast enhancement	T1WI: hypo-intense signal T2WI: hyper-intense signal Cystic and solid components Homogeneous enhancement of solid portion
Pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma	Temporal lobe most common Hypo/isodense Calcification is rare, one-third demonstrate hemorrhage Intense contrast enhancement	T1WI: isointense with gray matter T2WI: mildly hyper-intense signal, marked vasogenic edema Relatively low ADC values Cystic and solid components Strong contrast enhancement with the mural nodule
Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor (DNET)	Temporal lobe most common Low density Calcification is rare No contrast enhancement	T1WI: hypo-intense signal T2WI: hyper-intense signal Multicystic appearance Adjacent cortical thickening Without/Nodular contrast enhancement
