[Sphenoid sinus lymphoma. Case report and review of the literature].
Neurochirurgie. 2002 Dec; 48(6):522-6.N

Abstract

A 64-year-old man presented to his general practitioner with an history of headaches and recent diplopia. Neuroradiological investigation showed a sphenoid sinus mass involving the sella and the clivus. Diagnosis of non-Hodgkin lymphoma was made via a transsphenoidal approach. The patient subsequently underwent a 6-month course of chemotherapy (M COPPA protocol) followed by 50 Gy locoregional radiotherapy. At three years follow-up the patient was in complete clinical and radiological remission. This case underscores the importance of thorough radiological work-up for accurate identification of tumor masses involving the pituitary fossa and provides an opportunity to review the literature on the management of this rare entity.
