Abstract EN
Cholesterol granulomas are rare round or ovoid cysts.
They contain cholesterol crystals surrounded by foreign bodies of giant cells and are characterized by chronic inflammation.
Large cholesterol granuloma can compress surrounding tissue especially cranial nerves.
There are several types of surgery for the resection of cholesterol granuloma.
We describe 4 cases of cholesterol granuloma operated on via transnasal endoscopic approach.
In this report, we describe radiologic and pathologic features of this lesion and explain the advantages and disadvantages of transsphenoidal endoscopic approach for these rare lesions.
