Description
Wu, Zhang, Tan, and Zhang report a rare case of an inherited tumor disorder showing in an unusual spot above the pituitary gland. The disorder runs in families and seeds tumors in the brain, eyes, and kidneys. Its usual brain tumors grow in the back of the skull or the spinal cord.
Their patient was a 39-year-old man with growing dizziness and fading sight in the left eye. Scans showed richly fed growths in three places: above the pituitary, in the left rear brain, and in the spinal cord. Surgeons removed the rear brain growth, and lab tests confirmed the tumor type. The spread across sites fit the inherited disorder. The case warns that this rare spot should not rule the disorder out.
