Melanotic paraganglioma arising in the temporal horn following Langerhans cell histiocytosis

Abstract

Intracerebral paragangliomas are rare because of the lack of paraganglial cells in the cerebral tissue. We report a rare case of melanotic paraganglioma arising from the temporal horn of the lateral ventricle in a patient with prior Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) treated with chemotherapy and radiation. © 2007 Springer-Verlag.
