Ganglioneuroma (GN) is a rare neurogenic tumor that accounts for about 0.1%-0.5% of all tumors of the nervous system. It originates from neural crest cells. GN has no specific clinical symptoms or laboratory findings, which leaves it easily overlooked and misdiagnosed as other tumors. In the current study, a case of a cardiac ganglioneuroma with systemic metastases in a cat is described. A 12-year-old male neutered Japanese domestic cat was brought to a veterinary hospital for dysorexia, coughing, vomiting, and diarrhea. Ultrasonography revealed a mass adjacent to the right
OBJECTIVE
Dysplastic gangliocytoma of the cerebellum (Lhermitte-Duclos disease) is a rare hamartomatous lesion of the cerebellar cortex. The pathogenesis of the disease is still poorly understood. Lhermitte-Duclos disease was recently considered to be part of a multiple hamartoma-neoplasia syndrome
BACKGROUND
A gangliocytoma rarely coexists with a pituitary adenoma in a sellar lesion. Herein, we describe our experience in treating a mixed gangliocytoma and prolactinoma of the pituitary gland.
METHODS
A 16-year-old male presented with severe headache and vomiting. Magnetic resonance imaging
A case of pineal gangliocytoma in a 51 year-old man is presented. He was admitted to the hospital on February 2, 1982, with complaints of headache, nuchal pain, blurred vision, nausea and vomiting of three years' duration. Neurological examination did not show any neurological deficits but bilateral
Tacrolimus is a widely used macrolide immunosuppressant in transplant surgery, with mild and major neurologic side effects. A 21-year-old woman had undergone preemptive transplantation of a kidney from her mother. On the 1st postoperative day, the patient had headache, nausea, vomiting, and
Gangliocytoma is an uncommon low-grade neuroepithelial tumour arising in the cerebral hemispheres, with medulla oblongata being extremely rare site of occurrence. We report a case of an 8-year-old female with recurrent vomiting, hypertension and left hemifacial spasms with a dorsally exophytic
Adrenal ganglioneuromas in young adults are rare and ill-understood. We report an incidentally detected adrenal gland tumor diagnosed as ganglioneuroma (mature type) in 33 years old man who presented with vomiting and epigastric pain for 2 months. Histopathology examination revealed a
A 28-year-old male with scoliosis presented with complaints of dyspnea and vomiting. His medical history revealed a mediastinal ganglioneuroma resection at the age of 2. After the surgery, he had not been followed up until his admission to our hospital. Computed tomography and MRI showed severe
The ganglioneuroma is a rare tumor arising from sympathetic nervous system, which is composed of gangliocytes and mature stroma.A retroperitoneal ganglioneuroma was found in a 14 years old Saudi boy, presented with recurrent vomiting. CT image showing a Lhermitte-Duclos disease (LDD) is a rare cerebellar disorder characterized by diffuse or focal enlargement of cerebellar folia. Clinical manifestations are usually related to a mass effect and secondary obstructive hydrocephalus. Increased intracranial pressure symptoms and cerebellar symptoms are
OBJECTIVE
A case of Lhermitte-Duclos disease (LDD, dysplastic gangliocytoma) with atypical vascularization is reported. LDD is a rare cerebellar mass lesion which may be associated with Cowden's syndrome and the PTEN germline mutation.
METHODS
A 61-year-old male presented 15 years before with a
We report a case of Lhermitte-Duclos disease (dysplastic gangliocytoma of the cerebellum), an uncommon disorder of uncertain pathogenesis characterized by disarrangement of the normal cerebellar laminar cytoarchitecture. A 40-year-old man was admitted because of vomiting and syncope of a few days'
BACKGROUND Lhermitte-Duclos disease (LDD) is caused by a rare slow-growing mass in the cerebellum. LDD generally is experienced by young adults, but also it has been encountered in the pediatric population. Lhermitte and Duclos first described cerebellar dysplastic gangliocytoma in 1920. The first
