Endolymphatic sac tumour, abbreviated ELST, is a very rare tumour associated with von Hippel-Lindau disease.
General
- Rare.
- Locally aggressive.[1]
- Associated with von Hippel-Lindau disease.
- May be sporadic.[1]
Clinical - common:[2]
- Hearing loss (sensorineural).
- Tinnitus.
- Dizziness.
Treatment:
- Surgical excision.[2]
Microscopic
Features:[1]
- Cystic spaces.
- Papillary structures.
- Low grade cytomorphology (lack nuclear pleomorphism).
DDx:
- Choroid plexus papilloma - when infiltrating cerebellopontine angle via petrous bone.
- Metastatic adenocarcinoma.
