Diagnosis of Case Study #2

Computed Tomography (CT) of the Brain:
On the pre-contrast imaging study, there is a marked thickening (hyperostosis) of the right calvarium. A homogeneous enhancing mass is noted within the frontal lobe and right midbrain.

Impression:
The CT findings are compatible with left axillary mass with cranial mediatinal lymphadenopathy. The pulmonary nodules represent pulmonary metastases.

Comments:
The CT findings are compatible with a brain tumor, such as a meningioma. Cortical thickening (hyperostosis) of the calvarium is a common finding secondary to meningioma in cats.
