case_images: Contrast CT (Figure 1) report showed that an approximately 38 x 27 mm ovoid homogeneous enhancing extra axial mass lesion involving right cerebellopontine cistern was observed.
case_images: Contrast coronal MRI shows well-defined heterogeneously enhancing T1 hypo and T2 predominantly hyperintense lesion in the right cerebellopontine angle (white arrow).

case_images: T1 hypo and T2 predominantly hyperintense space occupying mass lesion in the right cerebellopontine angle cistern causing mild mass effect on the brain stem with extension to right internal auditory canal with subtle canal widening suggestive of acoustic neuroma (Figures 2 and 3). The extension of the tumor into the internal auditory canal represented "shark fin" appearance (Figure 4).
