Skull base granuloma: an unusual location of idiopathic midline destructive disease

Eur Radiol. 2001;11(6):1076-8. doi: 10.1007/s003300000662.

Abstract

A rare case of idiopathic midline destructive disease is presented, which is an entity of the so-called midline granuloma syndrome. Differentiation from other granulomas, especially from Wegener's granulomatosis, is important. This report shows the MR findings in a patient with atypical clinical presentation of histopathologically proven idiopathic midline destructive disease.
