Abstract
We report a case of metastatic adenocarcinoma to the brain that appeared as a homogeneously hyperdense mass on CT. The lesion was initially diagnosed as an intracerebral hematoma. On serial CT scans, the high density lesion progressively enlarged. Pathology showed coagulation necrosis without hemorrhage or calcification. Analysis of the tumor revealed elevation of the protein content relative to the normal brain. We conclude that the high CT attenuation was due to the elevated protein content.
