Endolymphatic sac tumor (ELST) is a rare low-grade non-metastasizing adenocarcinoma of endolymphatic sac origin that arises in the petrous part of the temporal bone. Here we present a case of endolymphatic sac tumor of the head in a 53-year-old man who had symptoms in his left ear since 40 years ago after drowning and found a mass about 2 cm around his left ear 8 years ago, which grows slowly t...
متن کاملArachnoid granulations of the posterior temporal bone wall: imaging appearance and differential diagnosis.
Arachnoid granulations are rarely seen on high-resolution CT (HRCT) at the posterior temporal bone wall, where they appear as erosions, without bone spicules and often with a lobulated surface. Differential diagnosis includes endolymphatic sac tumor, paraganglioma, chordoma, and chondromatous and metastatic tumors. MR imaging can confirm the diagnosis because arachnoid granulations behave like ...
متن کاملEndolymphatic sac tumour (ELST). Case report of a rare tumour of the temporal bone, presenting as a mass in a cerebello-pontine angle.
Endolymphatic sac tumour (ELST) is a primary low-grade, locally invasive adenocarcinoma of the endolymphatic sac, characterized by the proliferation of cuboidal cells forming a papillotubular pattern and colloid-filled cysts. Rare in the general population, it coincides significantly with the presence of von Hippel-Lindau disease. The natural history, mechanisms underlying the early symptoms, a...
متن کاملCerebellopontine angle invasive papillary cystadenoma of endolymphatic sac origin with temporal bone involvement.
The authors report the MR, CT, and pathologic findings in a case of invasive papillary cystadenoma originating in the endolymphatic sac and involving the temporal bone. This case illustrates characteristic imaging features of this lesion. The authors emphasize awareness of this entity with its aggressive temporal bone involvement as an aid to pathologic differential diagnosis.
متن کاملLarge vestibular aqueduct syndrome with high CT density and high MR signal intensity.
We report a case of large vestibular aqueduct syndrome with a markedly dilated endolymphatic sac bilaterally. The density and signal intensity of the extraosseous portion of the sac were higher than those of cerebrospinal fluid on CT and MR studies. The findings may represent protein-rich and hyperosmolar fluid within the endolymphatic sac.
