    A, In111 pentetreotide (OctreoScan) scintigraphy showing intense uptake in the right cerebral hemisphere. B, Magnetic resonance imaging showing a homogeneous, gadolinium-enhancing, extra-axial tumor measuring 7×5×5 cm, located in the right temporal lobe, with a prominent dural-based tail. These findings were consistent with a meningioma.
