Haemorrhagic cerebral metastases from malignant testicular teratoma.
Cerebral metastases from malignant testicular teratoma may show complex appearances with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which are consistent with changes resulting from repeated haemorrhage. Haemorrhage causes enlargement and symptomatic progression of cerebral lesions, and this can occur even when extracranial disease or other cerebral lesions remain static.
