Abstract

A case of a primary intracerebral granular cell tumor (GCT) in a 71-year-old woman is reported. The computed tomographic scan showed a contrast-enhancing, noncalcified mass in the left parieto-occipital region. The tumor was operated upon and the histological findings showed a granular cell tumor with mitotic activity. After radiation therapy the patient recovered well. The origin of intracerebrally growing GCT's remains unclear. Involvement of astrocytes is discussed. Primary GCT's of the cerebrum are potentially more malignant than those of the pituitary region.

摘要

报告了一例71岁女性原发性脑内颗粒细胞瘤（GCT）的病例。计算机断层扫描显示左侧顶枕区有一个增强造影、无钙化的肿块。对该肿瘤进行了手术，组织学检查结果显示为具有有丝分裂活性的颗粒细胞瘤。放疗后患者恢复良好。脑内生长的GCT的起源仍不清楚。讨论了星形胶质细胞的参与情况。大脑原发性GCT可能比垂体区域的GCT更具恶性。
