MR imaging, CT, and angiography features of endolymphatic sac tumors: report of two cases

Neuroradiology. 2002 Jan;44(1):91-6. doi: 10.1007/s002340100655.

Abstract

Low-grade adenocarcinoma of endolymphatic sac origin is a rare tumor of the temporal bone. There are some difficulties in its differential diagnosis from other vascular and non-vascular tumors of the temporal bone. However its radiological differentiation from other tumors of the temporal bone is important for surgical planning. We present a report on two endolymphatic sac tumors with some specific radiological findings which can support a correct diagnosis.
