Abstract Nonbullous congenital ichthyosis erythroderma (CIE) is an autosomal recessive disorder of ineffective keratinization. We present a unique case of a 16-year-old female with CIE who developed Cushing disease (CD) at age 13 with concomitant worsening of her skin disease. After transsphenoidal resection of her pituitary adenoma, she had both resolution of her Cushing symptoms and significantly milder skin manifestations of her CIE. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a patient with both CD and CIE, one that is important in demonstrating the role of glucocorticoids in this disorder.

We report a case of an intraventricular tumor with features of atypical central neurocytoma with a sarcomatous component in a 44-year-old woman who presented with headaches and vomiting. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a 3.4-cm lobulated enhancing mass in the occipital horn of the left lateral ventricle, and the patient subsequently underwent a left occipital-parietal craniotomy for debulking. The tumor contained 2 cell populations: round cells with perinuclear halos in a fibrillary background, and spindle cells with oval nuclei arranged in interlacing fascicles with focal necrosis. The round cells had diffuse synaptophysin immunopositivity, while the spindle cells were diffusely immunopositive for vimentin and had intercellular reticulin. The mitotic activity (8 mitotic figures per 10 high-power fields) and the high Ki-67 proliferation index (15.0%) were consistent with atypical central neurocytoma with a sarcomatous component. Although different histologic variants have been described, this is the first reported case, to our knowledge, of central neurocytoma with spindle cell sarcomatous features.

✓ The authors report a unique case of ectopic intracranial pituitary adenoma, associated clinically with generalized seizures and aggressive behavior. The lesion presumably arose from cells in the pars tuberalis and did not involve the sella turcica.
