    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    A rare juxtasellar fungal abscess mimicked tumors on imaging. Histology revealed fungal elements, not cancer, despite atypical patient presentation without typical risk factors.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Mycology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Juxtasellar masses can present diagnostic challenges.
    • Fungal infections in the central nervous system are uncommon but serious.
    • Distinguishing infectious from neoplastic lesions is critical for patient management.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with diplopia and mild abducens palsy.
    • No signs of inflammation, sinusitis, or diabetes mellitus were present.
    • Neuroradiology suggested a clival chordoma or epidermoid tumor.

    Findings:

    • Histopathology revealed extensive fungal mycelia with thin capsules.
    • No tumor cells were identified on microscopic examination.
    • The mycotic abscess had suprasellar extension.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering fungal infections in juxtasellar masses, even with atypical presentations.
    • Accurate diagnosis requires integrating clinical, radiological, and pathological findings.
    • Timely identification and treatment of CNS fungal infections are crucial to prevent severe neurological sequelae.
