ABSTRACT

Introduction: Primary tumor of giant soft tissue cells with low malignant potential is a rare tumor. They have been reported in several sites, including breast, salivary glands, lung, etc. Giant cell tumors of the skull represent 1%, preferably affects the sphenoid and temporal bones. With low potential for malignant transformation. Methods: The case of a 27-year-old male patient is presented, with decrease in left visual acuity, rapidly progressive; with evidence of left afferent pupillary defect. CT and NMR are requested finding tumor lesion in left sphenoid topography with extension to the cavernous sinus of the same side displacing the pituitary gland. Discussion: The objective of the case report is to describe the frequency of the disease and the characteristics in its presentation, define guidelines for the approach, treatment and follow-up; also establish the prognostic factors. Conclusions: Tumor of unusual location and presentation.
