We report an unusual case of extraventricular ("cerebral") neurocytoma with ganglion cells located in the right temporal lobe in a 9-year-old girl with complex partial seizures and precocious puberty. CT showed a calcified mass with central cystic zones. MR imaging showed a markedly hyperintense predominately solid tumor on both T1- and T2-weighted images, without appreciable contrast enhancement. Cerebral neurocytomas are histologically benign and radical surgery is curative; they should be included in the differential diagnosis of temporal lobe tumors in children.
我们报告了一例罕见的脑室外(“脑内”)神经细胞瘤病例,该肿瘤位于一名9岁患有复杂部分性癫痫和性早熟的女孩的右侧颞叶,伴有神经节细胞。CT显示一个有中央囊性区域的钙化肿块。磁共振成像显示在T1加权和T2加权图像上均为明显高信号的实性肿瘤,无明显对比增强。脑室内神经细胞瘤在组织学上是良性的,根治性手术可治愈;它们应列入儿童颞叶肿瘤的鉴别诊断中。
