“…Intracranial xanthogranulomas are most often asymptomatic lesions of the central nervous system found in 1.6% to 7% of all autopsy patients. 3,19) Intrasellar xanthogranuloma has been reported, but xanthogranuloma of the sella turcica is unusual and RCC associated with xanthogranulomatous change is rare. 7) Only 13 cases of RCC with granulomatous change have been diagnosed by pathological examination (Table 1).…”

Fig. 1 Computed tomography scans showing a solid intrasellar lesion appearing isodense with rod-like calcification (arrow). AbstractA 58-year-old man presented with a rare case of Rathke's cleft cyst (RCC) manifesting as headache and visual disturbance. Goldman's perimeter showed he had bitemporal hemianopia. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a solid intrasellar lesion. He underwent surgery via a right pterional approach. The lesion was red, solid, and fibrous. Histological examination revealed a few columnar epithelial cells with poor cilia in a xanthogranulomatous lesion. Only 13 cases of RCC with granulomatous change have been diagnosed by pathological examination, including 4 xanthogranulomatous cases. Xanthogranuloma of the sellar region is relatively rare. The etiology is still unknown. We speculate that xanthogranulomas of the sellar region may be caused by reaction to the presence of RCC.

Xanthoma of the Occipital Bone and With Preserved Inner and Outer Bone Cortex: Case Report

Objective We present a unique case of a midline xanthoma of the occipital bone exhibiting atypical imaging characteristics with preserved bone cortex that has not previously been described.Participant This man presented with refractory headaches and suboccipital pain and a mass within the diploe of the occipital bone but with preserved inner and outer cortex of the bone. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a midline, enhancing, and marrow-replacing process in the occipital bone measuring 1.5 cm in anteroposterior (AP) diameter, resulting in mild indentation of the dorsal aspect of the cerebellar vermis.Results The patient underwent a suboccipital craniectomy. Tumor resection was from the foramen magnum to the inion and laterally until normal bone was encountered. The xanthoma was yellowish and bled a moderate amount upon resection.Conclusion An isolated cranial xanthoma with preserved inner and outer bone cortex involving the occipital bone and of midline location has yet to be described. The differential diagnosis of osteoexpansile skull lesion with preserved bone cortex should now include xanthoma. Given the broad spectrum of imaging characteristics exhibited by this unusual diagnosis, surgical intervention is indicated from a diagnostic as well as a therapeutic standpoint.
