چکیده
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.

Endolymphatic sac tumor: a rare cerebellopontine angle tumor.
Endolymphatic sac tumors (ELST) are rare papillary tumors of the temporal bone. Previously named as aggressive papillary middle ear tumors, they have recently been shown to arise from the endolymphatic sac. They are a rare in cerebello-pontine angle (CPA). We present a case of an ELST who presented as a CPA tumor with hydrocephalus. He underwent a ventriculo-peritoneal shunt initially. On explo...
متن کاملEndolymphatic sac tumor in a patient with von Hippel-Lindau disease: MR imaging findings.
A 29-year-old male patient with von Hippel-Lindau disease who had an operation for cerebellar hemangioblastoma six years ago is presented. The patient had a four-year history of a slow-growing, locally invasive vascularized lesion of the temporal bone involving the cerebellopontine angle. The mass, studied by MR imaging, was almost completely cystic in appearance. Pathological examination after...
متن کاملEndolymphatic sac tumours and von Hippel-Lindau disease - case report, molecular analysis and histopathological characterization.
Endolymphatic sac tumours (ELST) are aggressive papillary tumours of the temporal bone. The name was finally determined after the endolymphatic sac was determined as the site of their origin. They should be considered in patients with tumours eroding the petrous part of the temporal bone, extending to the cerebellopontine angle or other adjacent structures. These very rare tumours in the genera...
متن کاملEndolymphatic Sac Tumors: Mr Imaging Findings in Two Siblings
Endolymphatic sac tumors are aggressive papillary tumors of the temporal bone that could be associated with von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL). We present imaging findings of a VHL family with two cases of endolymphatic sac tumors. These tumors spread to the cerebellum and the cerebellopontine cistern and may mimic more frequent tumors of this region. They show predominantly high signals on T1and ...
متن کاملDeafness due to bilateral endolymphatic sac tumours in a case of von Hippel-Lindau syndrome.
A case of bilateral endolymphatic sac tumours is reported. In a patient with von Hippel-Lindau syndrome, tumour growth in the right cerebellopontine angle caused deafness. The tumour was removed and classified as a metastasis from a thyroid carcinoma. However, on thyroidectomy no primary neoplasm could be found. Eight years later a similar tumour was operated on in the left petrosal bone. Histo...
