Diffusion-Weighted and Conventional Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Cerebral Cryptococcoma
Acta Radiol 4:411-414, Ho,T.-L.,et al, 2005
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
A case of cryptococcoma involving the right cerebral hemisphere is reported. The diffusion-weighted image shows hypointensity in the central cavity of the cryptococcoma, while apparent diffusion coefficient maps show hyperintensity. The imaging features of an intracerebral cryptococcoma mimic that of a central necrotic brain tumor, rather than a pyogenic brain abscess.
