A collision tumor is a rare neoplastic lesion consisting of two or more coexisting, distinct cell line entities. In this report, we present the case of a 56-year-old male patient with a history of colon cancer who presented to the emergency room with visual deficits that had started about eight months earlier. An ophthalmologic examination reported left homonymous hemianopsia, prompting a brain MRI, which showed a right posterior temporal extra-axial mass concerning intracerebral metastatic colon cancer, in consideration of patient history. A right parietal craniotomy was performed, achieving gross total safe resection. The patient's preoperative left homonymous hemianopsia persisted, but no new neurological deficits were reported postoperatively. Pathologic examination revealed a solitary fibrous tumor in collision with metastatic colonic adenocarcinoma. The patient's family opted for comfort-directed care, given the patient's poor prognosis.
碰撞瘤是一种罕见的肿瘤性病变,由两种或更多种共存的、不同的细胞系实体组成。在本报告中,我们介绍了一名56岁男性患者的病例,该患者有结肠癌病史,因大约八个月前开始出现视力障碍而到急诊室就诊。眼科检查报告为左侧同向性偏盲,遂进行脑部MRI检查,考虑到患者病史,结果显示右侧颞叶后部轴外肿块,怀疑为脑内转移性结肠癌。进行了右顶叶开颅手术,实现了大体全切。患者术前的左侧同向性偏盲持续存在,但术后未报告新的神经功能缺损。病理检查显示为孤立性纤维瘤与转移性结肠腺癌碰撞。鉴于患者预后较差,其家属选择了舒适护理。
