A
Dermoid cyst
B

C
Neuroepithelial cyst
D
Meningioma
High-Yield Explanation
Among the given options, the only meningioma shows enhancement on contrast scans. "The radiologic image of a dural-based, extra-axial mass with dense, uniform contrast enhancement is essentially diagnostic, although a dural metastasis must also be considered. A meningioma may have a 'dural tail' a streak of dural enhancement flanking the main tumor mass, however, the finding may also be present with other dural tumors." Ref : Harrison, 17/e p2605
