Abstract
Papillary endothelial hyperplasia (PEH) is considered a form of endothelial proliferation rather than a true neoplasm and is usually located in the sk in or subcutis. We report a case of intracranial PEH that occurred after su rgery for glioma and subsequent radiosurgery. CT and MR revealed an enhanci ng extraaxial mass located left posterolateral to the brainstem. Intracrani al PEH is rare; to our knowledge, development of an intracranial PEH after surgery and radiosurgery has not been previously reported.
