A 28-year-old man presented with a chest radiograph strongly suggestive for cardiomegaly. Although he did not consent any hemodynamic studies, cardiomegaly was ruled out on the basis of the clinical course.

It shows the direction and degree of parasellar extension and the presence of any calcific or cystic component of the lesion. When C.T. was negat...
