Case 8 History (AANP 1990, DSS Case 6) ---- This 69 year old man developed left sided facial paralysis 4 weeks prior to admission which was followed by gradually worsening numbness of the left hand and the inability to carry out fine movements with that hand. He had a long history of being a heavy smoker, and had a 15 lb. weight loss over the last 3-4 months prior to his admission. On examination he was alert and oriented. The visual fields showed extinction on the left side to double simultaneous stimulation. CT scans showed a round mass superficially located in the right parietal lobe with massive edema surrounding the mass in its deep aspects. Craniotomy with excision of the mass was performed. ---- 8A1 The tumor appears discrete and well circumscribed with solid and necrotic patches. (H&E)
