FIG 3. Case 6: 46-year-old-man with left medial frontal anaplastic oligoastrocytoma treated with carboplatin and thalidomide, without concomitant steroid therapy.
AC, Postcontrast T1-weighted images. At the start of therapy, a solid enhancing mass is seen in the left medial frontal lobe (A). At 3-month follow-up, there is a slight increase in contrast enhancement (B). At 8-month follow-up, there is a less solid and more linear pattern of enhancement (C).
DF, Corresponding color overlay images. At the start of therapy, there is minimal hyperperfusion, corresponding to the left medial frontal enhancing tumor (D). At 3-month follow-up, there is an increase in hyperperfusion (E). At 8-month follow-up, there is further progression of hyperperfusion, corresponding well with patient's deteriorating clinical status (F).
