Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a well-defined lesion in the midbrain appearing heterogeneously hyperintense on T1WI and containing mixed hyperintense and hypointense areas on T2WI. Multiple areas of SWI blooming, suggestive of hemorrhage, were seen within the lesion.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Brainstem malignant melanoma can masquerade cavernoma as seen in our case.
