Abstract
A case of a suprasellar granular cell tumor, approximately 1.5 cm in diameter, in a 68-year-old woman is described. Diagnosis was established postoperatively by histopathological examination of the tumor tissue. The preoperative computed tomographic scan revealed a slightly hyperdense suprasellar mass with strong contrast enhancement. There was no evidence of calcification. The T1-weighted image on magnetic resonance imaging scan showed an isointense tumor with non-homogeneous enhancement after intravenous gadolinium diethylene-triamine-pentaacetic acid. In the proton-weighted image, the suprasellar mass presented a non-homogeneously enhanced signal. A non-homogeneous signal reduction was seen in the T2-weighted image.
