---|---|---|---|---|---|
P 1 | 66 | Male | Kidney transplant | Multiple metastasesb | Biopsy: reason, multiple lesions |
P 2 | 76 | Male | Chronic myeloproliferative disorder; essential thrombocythemia | Glioblastoma | Biopsy: reason, patient basal clinical status |
P 3 | 74 | Male | Liver transplant | Single metastasisc | Biopsy: reason, second-look radiologic opinion |
P 4 | 62 | Female | Systemic sclerosis and discoid cutaneous lupus | Glioblastoma | Maximal safe surgical resection |
P 5 | 70 | Female | Immunosenescence | Multiple metastases or multifocal glioblastoma | Biopsy: reason, multiple lesions |
P 6 | 63 | Male | Autoimmune hepatitis | Metastasis or glioblastoma | Maximal safe surgical resection |
P 7 | 78 | Female | Kidney transplant | Single metastasis | Maximal safe surgical resection |

Based on a radiologic report from our neuro-oncology reference tertiary university hospital.
Atypical infection was considered, but as an unlikely option.
A second-look opinion raised the possibility of atypical lymphoma.
