Abstrakt     We report a case of a patient with multiple, intracranial superficial calcified tumorous lesions with focal amyloid deposition. On the basis of the first neuronavigated needle biopsy, the tumors were originally assessed as amyloidomas. Additional data was obtained from a second biopsy and supplementary neuroimaging information and the tumors were diagnosed as of vascular origin, probably cavernomas. The report exemplifies how only one diagnostic tool may sometimes be misleading inestablishing a final diagnosis. The additional imaging may thoroughly enhance, supplement and improve the diagnostic process.
