This report details a rare primary intracerebral granular cell tumor (GCT) in a 71-year-old woman. Successful surgical and radiation treatment led to a good recovery, highlighting potential therapeutic strategies for this uncommon brain tumor.

Area of Science:

  • Neuro-oncology
  • Neuropathology

Background:

  • Primary intracerebral granular cell tumors (GCTs) are rare neoplasms.
  • The exact origin of GCTs within the brain parenchyma remains largely undetermined.
  • Astrocytic origin has been proposed for some intracerebral GCTs.

Observation:

  • A contrast-enhancing, noncalcified mass was identified in the left parieto-occipital region of a 71-year-old female patient via computed tomography.
  • Histopathological examination revealed a granular cell tumor exhibiting mitotic activity.

Findings:

  • The patient underwent surgical resection followed by radiation therapy.
  • The patient experienced a favorable recovery post-treatment.

Implications:

  • Primary cerebral GCTs may possess a more aggressive biological potential compared to those originating in the pituitary region.

  • This case contributes to understanding the clinical presentation and management of rare intracerebral tumors.
  • Further research into the cellular origin and behavior of primary intracerebral GCTs is warranted.
