Abstract:
We present a case of a papillary tumour at the cerebellopontine angle in a 41-year-old man. He
presented with left-sided facial and ear pain associated with dizziness, nystagmus and hearing
loss. CT scan of the temporal bone showed a destructive tumour at the left cerebellopontine angle.
Surgical excision was performed and the diagnosis of the endolymphatic sac tumour was made.
Endolymphatic tumour is a low grade adenocarcinoma that originates from the endolymphatic
sac. The defi nitive diagnosis requires a combination of clinical features, radiological fi nding and
pathological correlation.
