Suprasellar Hemangioblastoma Mimicking a Craniopharyngioma: Result of Extended Endoscopic Transsphenoidal Approach—Case Report
Hemangioblastoma in the suprasellar region is rare. We present a case of a suprasellar hemangioblastoma that underwent surgical resection using an extended endoscopic transsphenoidal approach. A 64-year-old female patient presented with headache and decreased visual acuity for the last four years, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a 2.5 cm irregular lesion i...
متن کاملInfratentorial benign cystic meningioma mimicking a hemangioblastoma radiologically and a pilocytic astrocytoma intraoperatively: a case report

Intraoperatively, ...
متن کاملHemangioblastoma located in the posterior incisural space mimicking a tentorial meningioma: a case report
BACKGROUND The most common type of vascularized tumor located in the posterior incisural space in older patients is the falcotentorial meningioma. Solid hemangioblastomas are rarely found in this particular area of the brain. To the best of our knowledge, the case of only one patient harboring a hemangioblastoma not associated with Von Hippel-Lindau disease has been previously reported in the l...
متن کاملHemangioblastoma mimicking tentorial meningioma: preoperative embolization of the meningeal arterial blood supply--case report.
A 72-year-old male presented with a primary hemangioblastoma of the posterior fossa with unusual dural attachment and meningeal arterial blood supply from the external carotid artery and marginal tentorial artery. Preoperative embolization facilitated complete resection of the tumor with no resultant neurological deficit. Hemangioblastoma must be included in the differential diagnosis of tumors...
متن کاملIsolated intracranial Rosai-Dorfman disease mimicking suprasellar meningioma: case report with review of the literature.
Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is an idiopathic histiocytic proliferation affecting the lymph nodes. Isolated intracranial RDD is rare and usually appears as a well-defined, dural-based lesion without lymphadenopathy. The clinical and radiological features of intracranial RDD are similar to meningioma. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry are essential for a definitive diagnosis. This is a repo...
