dc.description.abstractAim: Glioblastomas are the highest grade and most mortal primary brain tumors. Cerebral masses that occur with the metastasis of cancers of tissues other than brain are included in the differential diagnosis of glioblastomas. This study aimed to compare the diffusion-weighted imaging signal characteristics of primary and metastatic brain masses and to describe the findings that may be useful in the differential diagnosis. Material and Methods: Patients with pathologically diagnosed glioblastoma and patients with pathologically diagnosed metastases or radiologically diagnosed brain metastases were included in the study. Diffusion-weighted imaging signal properties in magnetic resonance imaging examinations obtained with a 1.5 Tesla scanner were retrospectively analyzed. The signal features and short and long diameters of the lesions were measured and compared in both patient groups. Results: A total of 54 patients, 24 glioblastomas, and 30 brain metastases were included in the study. The most common signal feature of diffusion-weighted imaging in the glioblastoma group was heterogeneous hyper- and hypointense areas observed in 20 (83.3%) patients. The most common signal feature in the metastasis group was the peripheral hyperintense ring and central hypointense signal in 16 (53.3%) patients. There was no significant relation found between the number of lesions and the primary brain tumor and metastases. Conclusion: Although only signal characteristics are used without quantitative assessment in diffusion-weighted imaging, it may be helpful in the differential diagnosis of primary and metastatic brain masses. It is important to remember that the masses in the two groups can have comparable signal properties.en_US
