We report the CT, MR imaging, and histologic findings in a patient with an intracranial mass diagnosed as xanthoma disseminatum (XD). The mass demonstrated radiographic findings typical for a glioma. However, histologic examination of brain and dermal lesions showed findings characteristic of XD. XD is a rare dermatologic disorder of unknown cause that may be accompanied by systemic manifestations. In rare cases, it can appear as an intracranial mass.
我们报告了一例被诊断为播散性黄瘤(XD)的颅内肿块患者的CT、磁共振成像(MR)及组织学检查结果。该肿块表现出胶质瘤典型的影像学特征。然而,对脑部和皮肤病变的组织学检查显示出XD的特征性表现。XD是一种病因不明的罕见皮肤病,可能伴有全身表现。在罕见情况下,它可表现为颅内肿块。
