Calcifying fibrous tumor of the clivus presenting in an adult

Calcifying fibrous tumor is a benign fibrous tumor. It rarely occurs in the clivus. The present study describes a case of a 56-year-old female, who was admitted to Taihe Hospital with dizziness not accompanied with headache for 2 months. Brain computed tomography examination revealed a well-defined,...

description Calcifying fibrous tumor is a benign fibrous tumor. It rarely occurs in the clivus. The present study describes a case of a 56-year-old female, who was admitted to Taihe Hospital with dizziness not accompanied with headache for 2 months. Brain computed tomography examination revealed a well-defined, partially calcified lytic-expansile lesion in the clivus, which corresponded to an enhancing mass on contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging. The patient underwent endoscopic resection. Subsequent pathologic examination of the resected tissue confirmed that the tumor was calcifying fibrous tumor. The patient was followed up for 3 months after operation without recurrence or metastasis.
