Supratentorial cortical ependymoma is a rare clinical entity where ependymoma occurring in the cortex without any connection to the ventricular system since ependymoma usually arises from the lining of the ventricular system or central canal of spinal cord. There have been 14 such cases reported in
Meningiomas are usually slow-growing benign tumors, for which complete removal can be difficult and recurrence is an issue. In this study the relationship between pathodiagnostic parameters, histological grade, and MIB-1 monoclonal antibody expression in meningioma diagnosed over 10 years in Shohada
Glioblastoma represents extreme anaplasia in astrocytic tumors. In spite of this aggressiveness, extracranial metastasis of glioblastoma is very rare and has been documented in only a few patients in the literature. In this article, a 30-year-old woman with secondary glioblastoma associated with
OBJECTIVE
Rosette-forming glioneuronal tumor is a newly described mixed glial and neuronal tumor. We describe two cases and review the literature to better characterize this entity.
METHODS
Patients were surgically treated, and tumors were diagnosed by light microscopy and immunohistochemistry using
BACKGROUND
The case of a 38-year old man with a histologically benign choroid plexus papilloma arising within the fourth ventricle with en plaque growth around the brain stem and medulla is described in detail. Up to this point this particular growth pattern has not been published and is a rare
We report a 50-year-old woman with no relevant clinical history who presented with headache and loss of memory. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a left parieto-temporal mass with annular enhancement after contrast media administration, rendering a radiological diagnosis of high-grade astrocytic
BACKGROUND
Rhabdoid meningioma exhibits high mitotic activity, anaplasia, and increased markers of cell proliferation. Here we describe a rhabdoid meningioma with a pattern of growth extending into the subarachnoid space and filled the cortical sulci.
METHODS
A 72-year-old woman presented with
We describe a case of ependymoma with neuronal differentiation in form of neuropil-like islands. A 6-year-old boy presented at clinical examination for a short history of headaches and vomiting. Brain computed tomography showed a large, partially cystic, parieto-occipital lesion. The tumor was
The descriptive term papillary glioneuronal tumor (PGNT) has been repeatedly applied to a morphologic subset of low-grade mixed glial-neuronal neoplasia of juvenile and young adult patients. We report on a 13-year-old boy with PGNT of the left temporal lobe, who presented with headaches and a single
A case of pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma in a 10-year-old Malay boy is reported. The patient presented with headache and epilepsy. On computed tomography, a ring-enhancing low-density lesion was observed in the left fronto-temporal area. During surgery, a cystic tumour containing serous fluid was
The authors report the case of a 7-year-old boy with a history of developmental delay who presented with aggressive behavior. A magnetic resonance (MR) image showed a mass lesion originating from the cerebellar vermis with an atypical folial pattern and contrast enhancement. Histologically, the
OBJECTIVE
Papillary glioneuronal tumors (PGNT) are a rare and recently recognized tumor entity. The neuroimaging findings were reviewed to determine if any specific findings emerge to assist a preoperative diagnosis of PGNT.
METHODS
Seven histologically confirmed cases of PGNT were evaluated from
Glioneuronal tumors are usually low-grade and have favorable prognosis. The anaplastic glioneuronal tumor with KIAA1549/BRAF fusion has not yet been documented. This article reports a case of glioneuronal tumor with anaplasia and KIAA1549/BRAF fusion to illuminate the importance of
