| Abstract | Background: Paraganglioma in the sellar region is an extremely rare entity, with a limited number of cases reported in the literature. Due to the paucity of clinical evidence, the diagnosis and treatment of paragangliomas in the sellar region remain challenging. Herein, we reported a case of sellar paraganglioma with parasellar and suprasellar extension. Particularly, the dynamic evolution of this benign tumor within a 7-year longitudinal observation was presented. Additionally, the relevant literature regarding sellar paraganglioma was comprehensively reviewed. Case description: A 70-year-old woman presented with progressive visual deterioration and headache. Brain magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a mass in the sellar region with parasellar and suprasellar extension. The patient refused surgical treatment. Seven years later, brain magnetic resonance imaging showed the lesion significantly progressed. Neurological examination revealed bilateral tubular contraction of visual fields. Laboratory examinations showed endocrine hormone levels were normal. Surgical decompression was performed via a subfrontal approach, and subtotal resection was achieved. Histopathological examination confirmed a diagnosis of paraganglioma. Postoperatively, she developed hydrocephalus, and ventriculoperitoneal shunting was performed. Eight months later, cranial CT showed no recurrence of the residual tumor, and the hydrocephalus had been relieved. Conclusion: Paraganglioma occurring in the sellar region is rare, and the preoperative differential diagnosis is difficult. Owing to the infiltration to the cavernous sinus and internal carotid, complete surgical resection is usually impracticable. There has been no consensus regarding postoperative adjuvant radiochemotherapy for the tumor residue. In-situ recurrence and metastasis have been reported in the literature, and close follow-up is warranted. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
