Brain and Chest Imaging. Coronal contrasted T1 (A) shows heterogeneously enhancing mass. Axial FLAIR (B) shows vasogenic edema. Chest X-ray (C) and CT (D) demonstrate lymphadenopathy (arrows). Jordan JT, et al © 2013 American Academy of Neurology

Pathology. Lymph node biopsy (A) reveals sarcoid, with non-caseating granuloma (asterisk) surrounded by lymphocytes (arrow). Brain biopsy (B) reveals glioblastoma, with vascular proliferation (arrow) and pseudopalisading necrosis (asterisk). * Jordan JT, et al © 2013 American Academy of Neurology

5 Brain Mass with Hilar Adenopathy: The Importance of Histological Diagnosis
This case emphasizes the importance of histologic diagnosis before initiating therapy. One study demonstrated nearly 50% variation in diagnosis following brain biopsy, 27% leading to a change in treatment.1 Sarcoid is associated with increased risk of certain cancers, though this has not been demonstrated for gliomas.2 1.Kim J.E., Kim D.G., Paek S.H., Jung H.W.
