Glomus tumors of the sellar region are exceedingly rare with only two reported cases in the literature. A case of a sellar glomangioma in a 72-year-old man is described. The tumor had the radiographic and gross appearance of a pituitary adenoma. Microscopically, the tumor was composed of epithelioid cells surrounding prominent small vascular channels. The tumor cells had indistinct cell borders and monotonous nuclei. Histological and immunohistochemical analysis identified the sellar tumor as a glomangioma. Here, we report the clinicopathological features of a third case of a sellar glomus tumor and review the literature.
鞍区颗粒细胞瘤极为罕见,文献中仅报告过两例。本文描述了一例 72 岁男性鞍区血管球瘤。该肿瘤具有垂体腺瘤的影像学和大体外观。显微镜下,肿瘤由围绕明显小血管通道的上皮样细胞组成。肿瘤细胞边界不清晰,核单一。组织学和免疫组织化学分析将鞍区肿瘤鉴定为血管球瘤。在此,我们报告了第三例鞍区颗粒细胞瘤的临床病理特征并复习了文献。
