Primary adult unilateral thalamic pilocytic astrocytoma with von Recklinghausen's disease mimicking lymphoma: A case report

Thalamic astrocytomas are rare central nervous system tumors that account for 1%-1.5% of all brain tumors. Their Clinical features depend on anatomical involvement. For these tumors, gross total resection is so difficult due to their deep location and also the infiltration of the optic pathway or brain stem. Unilateral adult thalamic locations are rarely described in the literature. Their radiological features often suggest lymphoma. The authors report here a new case of a primary unilateral thalamic pilocytic astrocytoma mimicking lymphoma diagnosed after a stereotactic core biopsy in a 62-year-old male patient with von Recklinghausen''s disease and which is responsible for Dejerine–Roussy syndrome. The authors will proceed with a comprehensive review of literature regarding this rare entity.
