Cerebellopontine Angle Anaplastic Ganglioglioma Masquerading as Vestibular Schwannoma : Unusual Entity
Copyright © 2018 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved..
BACKGROUND: Anaplastic gangliogliomas at the cerebellopontine angle (CPA) are exceptionally rare with only a few reported cases in published literature. These are composed of atypical ganglion cells and astrocytes accounting for nearly 1% of all central nervous system tumors. The authors report the case of anaplastic ganglioglioma in an adult patient presenting as a CPA mass lesion. The presentation was bizarre, and the diagnosis was possible only after histopathologic examination of the resected mass.
CASE DESCRIPTION: A 32-year-old lady presented with complaints of gradually progressive hearing loss and tinnitus in her right ear along with headache and ataxia. Neurologic evaluation revealed right-sided sensorineural hearing loss and truncal ataxia. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain was suggestive of a well-defined, contrast-enhancing, solid-cystic mass at the CPA cistern that extended into the porus acusticus, causing enlargement of the internal acoustic meatus. The features were suggestive of vestibular schwannoma of the CPA.
CONCLUSIONS: This unusual appearance of anaplastic ganglioglioma has not been previously described. Neurosurgeons need to keep in mind the possibility of anaplastic gangliogliomas in the differential diagnosis of CPA lesions.
