Abstract

A case of subependymoma of the septum pellucidum in a 54-year-old female is presented. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a partially calcified mass with intratumoral hematomas, and cerebral angiograms disclosed a relatively hypovascular lesion. Preoperatively, a cavernous angioma was suspected. The tumor was removed, and histological examination proved it to be a subependymoma containing a fine fibrillary matrix. On immunohistochemical analysis, both the matrix and the tumor cells were positive for glial fibrillary acidic protein staining.

Cavernous Hemangioma

Cavernous hemangioma is a blood vessel defect or benign tumor that leads to leakage of blood to the surrounding tissues. This can occur in several organs including the brain, which can lead to seizures. Discover the latest research on cavernous hemangiomas here.
