Abstract

Xanthogranuloma is a rare lesion of the sellar-suprasellar region. We describe a case of suprasellar xanthogranuloma in whom serial MRI revealed features that have not been previously described--development of dural tail, vascular encasement and intra-axial lesions in posterior fossa.

Keywords: MRI; Xanthogranuloma; hypopituitarism; suprasellar.
