AI Article Synopsis
- - Gangliogliomas are rare brain tumors that contain both neoplastic and abnormal ganglion cells and are usually found in the temporal lobe; they're very uncommon in the suprasellar region, with only 19 documented cases.
- - Among the suprasellar gangliogliomas, various degrees of invasion into nearby structures like the optic nerve and chiasm have been reported, with specific cases showing different patterns of growth.
- - This study presents the first known case of a suprasellar ganglioglioma originating from the third ventricle floor, which was surgically removed using an endoscopic endonasal approach, and also reviews related clinical features such as symptoms, age and gender distribution, MRI findings, and
Article Abstract
Gangliogliomas are uncommon intracranial tumors that include neoplastic and abnormal ganglion cells, and show positive immunohistochemical staining for GFAP and syn. This type of lesion occurs more frequently in the temporal lobe than in other areas; they are extremely rare in the suprasellar region. To the best of our knowledge, including our case, 19 cases of GGs have been found in the suprasellar region. Among them, five tumors invaded the optic nerve, nine tumors invaded the optic chiasm, one tumor invaded the optic tract, and two tumors invaded the entire optic chiasmal hypothalamic pathway. In the present study, we describe the first case of suprasellar GGs arising from the third ventricle floor that was removed through the endoscopic endonasal approach. In addition, we summarize the clinical characteristics of GGs, such as age of onset, gender distribution, MRI signs, main clinical symptoms, and treatment methods for GG cases.

The goal of this study was to summarize the radiological findings and clinical characteristics of mediastinal Ewing sarcoma/primitive neuroectodermal tumor (ES/PNET) in children. A retrospective review was conducted on the clinical and imaging data of 6 children with primary mediastinal ES/PNET that was confirmed by pathology. There were 3 girls and 3 boys in this study, aged between 2 and 11 years old.

Background: Lymphatic metastasis commonly occurs in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma and medullary thyroid carcinoma. The clinical and imaging characteristics of recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) invasion by extranodal extension (ENE) of metastatic lymph nodes remain understudied. This study aimed to evaluate these characteristics in patients with thyroid carcinoma.

Brain tumors can cause difficulties in normal brain function and are capable of developing in various regions of the brain. Malignant tumours can develop quickly, pass through neighboring tissues, and extend to further brain regions or the central nervous system. In contrast, healthy tumors typically develop slowly and do not invade surrounding tissues.

The poor prognosis of pancreatic cancer is often attributed to difficulties of early detection due to a lack of appropriate risk factors. Previously, we demonstrated the presence of Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) in pancreatic juice and tissues obtained from patients with cancers of the duodeno-pancreato-biliary region, suggesting the possible involvement of this bacterial species in chronic and malignant pancreatic diseases.
