Case Description: We highlight an unusual case of a 54-year-old woman, neurologically intact, with a diagnostically challenging lesion. The patient’s magnetic resonance imaging revealed a left frontal lesion with surrounding edema and a hemosiderin ring, misleading it to be a cavernoma. Intraoperatively, the lesion was found to be a solid tumor with hematoma and was confirmed to be glioblastoma on histopathology. Conclusion: The dilemma associated with our patient’s radiological findings and longstanding history of epilepsy is rare and a diagnostic challenge.","thumbnailUrl":"https://sni-digital-videos.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/806f0829-71d4-4b5c-b8c8-c8551d0f346d/featured/hero-1781560406508.png","publishDate":"2023-03-31T00:00:00.000Z","doi":"10.25259/SNI_976_2022","categories":["Neuro-oncology","Case Report"],"fullTextUrl":"https://surgicalneurologyint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/12230/SNI-14-112.pdf"}
