Article Title: | Nonenhancing brain metastases |
Abstract: | The hallmark radiological finding in metastatic brain disease is multiple enhancing lesions. We report a case of metastatic lung cancer to the brain with a lack of contrast enhancement. We believe that this unusual finding is due to inadvertent "treatment" of the metastases with the antiangiogenic agent bevacizumab (Avastin). © 2009 by the American Society of Neuroimaging. |
