Area of Science:

  • Neuro-oncology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors originating from extra-adrenal chromaffin cells.
  • CNS paragangliomas are exceptionally uncommon, with known locations including the pineal, pituitary, cerebellopontine angle, cauda equina, and filum terminale.

Observation:

  • A 42-year-old male patient presented with a history of vertigo and a generalized seizure.
  • Imaging revealed a fronto-temporal tumor requiring surgical intervention.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of paraganglioma.
  • This represents a rare instance of a fronto-temporal CNS paraganglioma.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering rare tumor types in the differential diagnosis of CNS lesions presenting with neurological symptoms.
  • Contributes to the limited literature on CNS paragangliomas, particularly those in atypical locations.
  • Underscores the role of neurosurgery and histopathology in the accurate diagnosis and management of these rare tumors.
