Primary central nervous system paragangliomas are rare. This report details a case of a cerebellar paraganglioma in an 11-year-old girl, highlighting its unique features and reviewing existing literature.

Area of Science:

Neuro-oncology
Pathology
Pediatric Neurology

Background:

Primary paragangliomas of the central nervous system (CNS) are exceptionally rare neoplasms.
Literature review indicates limited reported cases of intracranial paragangliomas.

Observation:

An 11-year-old girl presented with a 6-month history of headaches.
A tumor was identified in the left cerebellar hemisphere.
The neoplasm exhibited a characteristic nested architectural pattern (zellballen).

Findings:

The tumor cells were surrounded by S-100-positive sustentacular cells.
Morphologic and immunohistochemical analyses confirmed the diagnosis of paraganglioma.
This case represents a rare instance of primary CNS paraganglioma.

Implications:

This case contributes to the understanding of rare CNS tumors.
Further research into the pathogenesis and treatment of CNS paragangliomas is warranted.
Highlights the importance of considering rare diagnoses in pediatric neuro-oncology.
