Figure 1. First CT-scan performed after i.v. contrast injection shows a right-sided frontoparietal haemorrhagic lesion (5 × 6 cm) with surrounding oedema, a right-sided temporofrontal subdural haematoma of 7 mm and a marked (12 mm) shift of the midline structures.

Figure 4. The tumour tissue was rich in compressed, thin-walled blood vessels. (Anti CD34 – haematoxylin. Bar: 100 μm). (b) Thin-walled sinusoidal blood vessels, forming staghorn patterns were found throughout the tumour (Anti CD34 – haematoxylin. Bar: 200 μm).
