A 19‑year‑old male patient was admitted, after experiencing occasional headaches during the previous 6 months. The patient's headaches had become progressively more severe 1 month prior to admission to hospital, and were associated with right upper limb weakness. As revealed by cranial computed tomography, a high‑density lesion was observed in the left parietal region [CT values, 52 Houns field units, (HU)] and a peripheral low‑density edematous zone was visible.(figure a) . The medical history of the patient included an indolent 4x4 cm subcutaneous iliac mass in the left lower limb from last one year, which the patient had neglected. Therefore, the patient was diagnosed as space occupying lesion brain. During surgery, a purplish‑red tumor was observed in the brain. Intraoperative crush cytology was asked for. JMS 2017;20(2):108
