摘要：

Extraventricular neurocytomas (EVN) are rare central nervous system tumors, often located within the cerebral hemisphere. The present study reports a case of a 56-year-old male patient with bitemporal hemianopsia. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a tumor in the sellar region. The tumor was totally excised. Postoperative histological examination of the tumor demonstrated that synaptophysin, chromogranin-A and neuron-specific enolase were positive, while luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, growth hormone, prolactin, adrenocorticotropic hormone, thyroid-stimulating hormone, glial fibrillary acidic protein, S-100, nestin and epithelial membrane antigen were negative, which were the main pathological features of neurocytomas. This is the fourth case of EVN located in the sellar region reported. The associated studies are also reviewed.
