- Diagnosis was initially suspected via imaging (scanography, MRI).
- Histological analysis confirmed the diagnosis post-surgery.
Findings:
- Complete surgical resection was achieved.
- The patient experienced a favorable postoperative course.
- No recurrence or distant metastasis was observed at one year follow-up.
Implications:
