I had an MRI done on Saturday with contrast for vertigo. I went to an ENT who ruled out anything in the ear, but wanted to be sure.
ANyway, the MRI showed that I have a brain lesion. The report says that I have one "non-specific" brain lesion. Can someone tell me what nonspecific is? My ENT does not know that I picked up the report..but she told me on the phone that I have a benign brain lesion. They want me to follow up in 6 months with another MRI. A mention of lyme titer was also on the report in correlation with the follow up. Anyway, my question is what does non-specific mean? Can this benign lesion turn into a malignant lesion? It showed up on the first scan, without contrast. It did not show up when contrast was administered though. Please help. Posted on 10/29/09, 12:10 pm |

They can turn out to be miglinant which means its not cancerous or anything serious but it can sometimes show even without contrast too it depends on how the MRI shows it.
i wish you good luck and that you find out something soon my thoughts and prayers are with you .I have had 2 brain surgeries for seizures and an astrocytoma brain tumor.

Malignant is cancerous.
My MRI showed it without contrast. When the contrast was put in, it did not show up. ??? Still confused. Thank you.
