A member asked:
Docs, could a brain tumor be mistaken for a brain cyst?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Brain tumor v. cyst: It depends on the imaging test. A technically adequate contrast enhanced MRI scan should be able to make this determination most of the time. It may be more difficult without contrast, or if only a CT was performed.
