Leiomyoma, the benign tumor of smooth muscle cell origin, is commonly seen in genitourinary and gastrointestinal tracts. Primary intracranial leiomyoma, however, is extremely rare occurrence. We hereby report a case of Epstein-Barr negative primary intracranial leiomyoma in a middle-aged renal transplant recipient, which mimicked left frontal parasagittal meningioma on neuroimaging. The tumor was completely excised and diagnosis of leiomyoma was clinched on pathological analysis with immunohistochemistry. The patient improved after tumor removal, and no evidence of tumor recurrence was noted on follow-up study after 10 months postsurgically.
平滑肌瘤是起源于平滑肌细胞的良性肿瘤，常见于泌尿生殖道和胃肠道。然而，原发性颅内平滑肌瘤极为罕见。我们在此报告一例中年肾移植受者的爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒阴性原发性颅内平滑肌瘤，其在神经影像学上酷似左侧额旁矢状窦脑膜瘤。肿瘤被完全切除，通过免疫组织化学病理分析确诊为平滑肌瘤。患者术后肿瘤切除后病情改善，术后10个月的随访研究未发现肿瘤复发迹象。
