The T1-weighted hypointense suprasellar 5.3 x 4.6 x 4.0 cm mass (2A4) which has a 1.1 x 1.0 x 1.2 cm anterior mural nodule which enhances with contrast (2A5). The mass is hypertense on a T2-weighted scan (2A6). The mass extends into the prepontine cistern and the interpeduncular cistern as well as into the right Sylvian fissure, and displaces the optic chiasm superiorly as well as the basilar artery laterally.
