Radiological findings. Flair images (A1) and Axial contrast-enhanced T1-weighted (A2) showed punctate and curvilinear enhancing lesions “peppering” on pons and cerebellum, with a large one in 1.07 cm diameter located in the right cerebellar hemisphere (arrow). There was no parotid malignancy observed at that time (D). With pulse therapy of intravenous methylprednisolone and following oral prednisolone, subsequent MRI showed the lesions decreased both in size and amount (B1, B2). When the dosage of prednisolone was tapered to 20 mg two months later, MRI showed recurring lesions (C1, C2). An enhancing nodule of 1.8 cm diameter was found in right masseter muscle (arrow) (E). After the resection of parotid malignancy (F), with adjuvant radiotherapy, PCGE lesions disappeared on MRI (G)
