Περίληψη:
We report a rare case of a primary intracranial B cell lymphoma
originating in the internal auditory canal. The clinical manifestations
were indistinguishable from those of other, more common tumors of the
same region. We achieved total gross tumor removal with preservation of
the facial nerve. A detailed histologic examination and a systemic
workup confirmed the primary nature of this tumor. To our knowledge,
this is the second case reported in the literature of a primary
malignant lymphoma originating in the internal auditory canal. This is
the first instance that includes immunohistochemical and cytometric
studies of fresh tissue. We discuss the management of primary lymphomas
of the central nervous system, with special emphasis on their
association with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and other immune
system diseases. Awareness of primary central nervous system lymphomas
is important, since a greater occurrence of these rare tumors in the
cerebellopontine angle is probable in the future.
