Hump on head: Rare case of bi-frontal fibrous dysplasia

Primary Intraosseous Granular Cell Tumor of the Sphenoid and Central Skull Base in a Pediatric Patient
We present a primary intra-osseous granular cell tumor of the sphenoid and central skull base arising in a 12- year- old girl.CASE REPORT: A 12-year-old female with sickle cell disease and Jeavons syndrome presented with seizures. Imaging and partial resection revealed an expansile benign granular cell tumor (GCT) involving the sphenoid body, pterygoid process, and central skull base. The disease has remained stable after 36-month follow up.DISCUSSION: GCT primarily involving the osseous sphenoid/skull base has not been previously reported in a child. Although mostly benign, some are aggressive, with malignant transformati...
