Zusammenfassung: | Whole body Positron Emission Tomography-Computerized Tomographic fusion (PET-CT) scan did not show any significant uptake. CT scan of the brain with contrast showed large left parietal glial and intracranial dural enhancing lesions at the region of prior surgical resection consistent with progression.
