Abstract

Jugular foramen tumors are uncommon cranial base lesions that cause difficulties not only in diagnosis but in treatment as well. Paraganglioma is the most common tumor involving this region. Other common tumors arising in the jugular foramen are meningiomas, schwannomas and chondrosarcomas. Metastatic involvement of this location is rare. We present a case of metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma in jugular foramen presented with cranial neuropathy. Although it is rare, metastasis of a systemic malignancy should always be considered in the differential diagnosis of a mass involving jugular foramen.

Abstract

Jugular foramen tümörleri, sadece tanı için değil aynı zamanda tedavide de zorluklara neden olan nadir kafa tabanı lezyonlardır. Paraganglioma bu bölgede görülen en yaygın tümördür. Jugular foramende diğer sık görülen tümörler meningioma, schwannoma ve kondrosarkomlardır. Bu bölgenin metastatik tutulumu nadirdir. Burada kraniyal sinir tutulumu ile başvuran juguler foramende akciğer adenokarsinomu metastazı olgusu sunulmaktadır. Nadir olmasına rağmen, sistemik bir malignitenin metastazı her zaman juguler foramen kitlelerinin ayırıcı tanısında düşünülmelidir.
