Fluid--fluid level in cystic cerebral metastatic melanoma

J Comput Assist Tomogr. 1979 Oct;3(5):650-2. doi: 10.1097/00004728-197910000-00014.

Abstract

Two cases of cystic metastatic melanoma are presented. The only reliable computed tomography sign of a true cystic lesion is the presence of an interface, such as between blood and tumor fluid. Differentiation of cystic metastatic melanoma from other cystic lesions of the brain is discussed.
