Area of Science:

  • Neuropathology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Intracranial parenchymal leiomyomas are exceptionally rare tumors.
  • Leiomyomas typically arise in smooth muscle tissues, making intracranial occurrence unusual.

Observation:

  • A 20-year-old female presented with chronic numbness and pain in her right limbs.
  • Imaging studies, including CT and MRI, identified a calcified mass with intense enhancement within the brain parenchyma.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of intracranial parenchymal leiomyoma.
  • The mass was surgically excised.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering rare diagnoses in neuroimaging.
