“…Including our case, 27 cases of IVO have been reported since 1980, and Table summarizes the clinical features. The patients were predominantly male (19 male patients and eight female patients) and the mean patient age was 31 years.…”

“…Oligodendrogliomas are relatively rare tumors of the brain and constitute 0.9‐4% of all brain tumors and 3‐12% of all gliomas . Although oligodendrogliomas commonly arise in the cerebral hemisphere, including the frontal and temporal lobes, primary intraventricular oligodendrogliomas (IVOs) have rarely been reported . However, primary IVOs that were previously reported may in fact be central neurocytomas because central neurocytomas appear quite similar to oligodendrogliomas on routine light microscopic examination …”

Primary intraventricular oligodendroglioma (IVO) is a rare form of clear cell neoplasm and diagnosis is challenging because other clear cell neoplasms such as central neurocytoma must be ruled out. We report a case of primary IVO in which Olig2 immunohistochemistry was useful for the diagnosis. A 33-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with severe headaches due to an intraventricular mass lesion and underwent total resection of the mass lesion. The histological diagnosis was oligodendroglioma because the tumor was negative for synaptophysin and positive for Olig2. IVO is rare and differential diagnoses must be considered. The correct pathologic diagnosis is essential for anticipating the prognosis and selecting adjuvant therapy. In this case, Olig2 was useful for the diagnosis of oligodendroglioma.

Retropharyngeal goitre extending to the oropharyngeal level is rare. We present a case of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) with a retropharyngeal cystic goitre extending to the uvular level. A woman in her 50s presented with swelling of the neck and dyspnoea. CT and MRI findings showed a primary tumour in the left lobe of the thyroid gland and a retropharyngeal dumbbell-shaped cystic goitre extending to the uvular level. Total thyroidectomy, central neck dissection and tracheostomy were performed. During the surgery, we opened the retropharyngeal space, and no mass was found. The pathological findings showed that the primary PTC (pT2) was surrounded by benign lesions, including the dumbbell-shaped cystic goitre. We speculated that the dumbbell-shaped cystic goitre extended from the visceral space (VS) into the pharyngeal mucosal space (PMS) and reached the uvular level because the thyroid gland is in the VS, and the VS and PMS are continuous spaces.
