Suspicious mass lesion in the right frontal region with predominantly vasogenic edema involving the right frontotemporoparietal regions with associated mass effect and subfalcine herniation. these findings are suggestive of a neoplastic process?

Certainly a description consistent with a malignant tumor or even a metastatic mass secondary to a distant carcinoma. Needs immediate oncological and neurosurgical attention. Get proactive NOW!

News could have been better. Imaging is consistent with a brain tumor and a biopsy and /or resection will be needed in order to diagnose and treat properly. A neurosurgeon, oncologist and radiation oncologist will weigh in and decide about treatment plan based on pathology.
