hi
a well encapsulated mass lesion with severe peri edema is Cancerous other wise proven else.....
evolving side of hemorrhage with in lesion as fascial paralysis
now you have two pathways
sterotactic brain biopsy
or complete exciosion ...i will advice complete excision
then biopsy report and finally chemo and radiotherapy for 6 months....dont wait ....mean whiile go for MR spectrscopy....if abcess.... but broad zone of edema itsless possible
take care
