MR images. (a) Frontal plane section. (b) Horizontal section. CE-MRI showed that the mass extended upward and invaded the nasal cavity. The mass showed hypointensity on T1-weighted images, hyperintensity on T2-weighted images, and an irregular margin with internal enhancement. Dynamic MRI revealed a plateau type lesion that was suspected to be a malignant tumor.
