A 24-year-old gentleman presented to us with complaints of occasional headache for 2 years. Magnetic resonance imaging showed enhancing supra sellar mass with nonenhancing cystic components, extending superiorly up to the body of bilateral lateral ventricle, laterally displacing septum pellucidum, and compressing the third ventricle with obstructive hydrocephalus. Hormone profile depicted adrenocorticotropic hormone <5.00 pg/mL, growth hormone 1.32 ng/mL, insulin-like growth factor-1 <3.0 ng/mL. The patient underwent surgical resection. Histological finding was suggestive of ganglioglioma World Health Organization grade I. Customized immunohistochemistry panel was advised and revealed positive CD 56, NSE, and GFAP immunohistochemical stains. Gangliogliomas are less frequent neoplastic lesions confined to only a handful of case reports and studies. Accounting less than 2% of intracranial neoplasms, these lesions primarily affect those in the first 3 decades of their life. As ubiquitous it is in nature, we hereby present a case of ganglioglioma in a young adult male arising from septum pellucidum.
一名24岁男性因2年来偶尔头痛前来就诊。磁共振成像显示鞍上肿块强化,伴有非强化囊性成分,向上延伸至双侧侧脑室体部,使透明隔向外侧移位,并压迫第三脑室导致梗阻性脑积水。激素水平显示促肾上腺皮质激素<5.00 pg/mL,生长激素1.32 ng/mL,胰岛素样生长因子-1<3.0 ng/mL。患者接受了手术切除。组织学检查结果提示为世界卫生组织I级神经节胶质瘤。建议进行定制的免疫组织化学检测,结果显示CD 56、NSE和GFAP免疫组织化学染色呈阳性。神经节胶质瘤是较少见的肿瘤性病变,仅有少数病例报告和研究。这些病变占颅内肿瘤不到2%,主要影响30岁前的人群。鉴于其在本质上较为普遍,我们在此报告一例起源于透明隔的年轻成年男性神经节胶质瘤病例。
