Abstract
This study describes a unique case of single mucin-rich brain metastasis in a patient with breast cancer, mimicking the T2-fluid attenuation inversion recovery (FLAIR) mismatch sign and masquerading as an isocitrate dehydrogenase-mutant astrocytoma. This case highlights the importance of considering mucin-rich lesions in the differential diagnosis of intracranial tumors exhibiting T2-FLAIR mismatch. Clinicians must recognize the potential convergence in imaging characteristics between these metastases and gliomas to guarantee prompt and accurate patient care.
