Brief Answer:
Malignant tumor possibly

Detailed Answer:
Let me apologize profusely for the delay in responding. I was caught up in something else. Let me try to address the issues now.

* The images 3-6 (of 2015) show a growth or tumor in the clivus. The tumor is irregular and shows rapid metabolic activity. It is therefore likely to be a malignant tumor. However, it calls for further evaluation for a proper histopathologic diagnosis. Nevertheless, for all practical probabilities it indicates a malignant (cancerous) growth.
* Image 3 could show an infarct. A clinical correlation is needed.
