Ann Neurol 38:237-244, Peterson,K.,et al, 1995
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Radiation necrosis is a delayed complication of cranial irradiation, typically presenting as a single intracerebral mass that is radiographically indistinguishable from recurrent tumor.We describe 6 patients with a distinct radiographic syndrome of multifocal enhancing lesions on magnetic resonance images,and their variable clinical courses: some fluctuating,some spontaneously resolving,and some demonstrating fulminant progression to frank necrosis.
