Deskripsi
Neuroblastoma is a malignant extra-cranial tumor that frequently arises in the pediatric population aged <5 years but is rare in adults. Only a few cases of primary central nervous system neuroblastoma (PCN-NB) have been documented, with most occurring in young patients. In this article, we report an adult case with a PCN-NB in the cerebellopontine angle-middle cranial fossa region that mimicked another neoplasm. We also discuss the magnetic resonance imaging features and pathological characteristics of PCN-NB and differential diagnosis strategies.
