Commentary [Trigeminal Amyloidoma: Case Report and Review of the Literature]

This is an interesting case with a concise and comprehensive review of amyloidoma involving the trigeminal ganglion. The lesion is rare and almost indistinguishable from other lesions in the parasellar area that the authors have included in the differential diagnosis. Interestingly, no other cranial nerve ganglia were reportedly involved by this pathology. This is another reason that the results of radiation without a tissue diagnosis are unreliable. I commend the authors for bringing this case to our attention and for reviewing the current literature.
