Craniopharyngioma: A Case Report of Ectopic Recurrence.
Ectopic recurrence of craniopharyngioma is extremely rare. Two mechanisms have been proposed to explain this phenomenon: direct implantation along the previous surgical tract and dissemination via cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). We present a case of ectopic recurrence along the surgical route after transcranial gross total resection (GTR) of primary tumor. Cystic tumor seems to be a risk factor of e...
متن کاملRecurrent Ectopic Craniopharyngioma in the Sylvian Fissure Thirty Years after Resection through a Pterional Approach: a Case Report and Review of the Literature
Local recurrence of craniopharyngiomas after apparently complete resection occurs frequently. Ectopic recurrence remote from the original site has been reported in 18 adult patients. The interval between the original diagnosis and the time of recurrence varies widely in these reports (1-26 years). We report a case of an ectopic recurrence in the sylvian fissure of an adamantinomatous type crani...
متن کاملAdenoid Cystic Carcinoma of the Buccal Mucosa with Rare Delayed Frontal Bone Metastasis: A Case Report
Adenoid cystic carcinoma (AdCC) is a malignant neoplasm, which accounts for 5-10% of all salivary gland tumors (1). About 50% of these tumors originate from intraoral minor salivary glands usually in the hard palate (1). Three clinically obvious characteristics of AdCC include slow growth rate, perineural invasion and high incidence of distant metastasis (1). The most commonly-affected sites of...
متن کاملEctopic recurrence of craniopharyngioma.
A 27-year-old woman presented with ectopic recurrence manifesting as an asymptomatic mass in the left frontal convexity 5 years after subtotal removal of suprasellar craniopharyngioma through a right orbitozygomatic craniotomy. The mass had enlarged gradually over the next 5 years, so a second operation was performed for total removal. The histological diagnoses of both lesions were adamantinom...
متن کاملPrimary ectopic frontotemporal craniopharyngioma
INTRODUCTION Primary ectopic craniopharyngiomas have only rarely been reported. Craniopharyngiomas involve usually the sellar and suprasellar region, but can be originated from cell remnants of the obliterated craniopharyngeal duct or metaplastic change of andenohypophyseal cells. We present the first case of a primary ectopic frontotemporal craniopharyngioma. PRESENTATION OF CASE A 35-year o...
