| Abstract: | Papillary glioneuronal tumor (PGNT) is a recently described central nervous system neoplasm that mostly occurs in the supratentorial system, adjacent to the lateral ventricles.In 2007, WHO classified PGNT as grade I neuronal-glial tumor because of the characteristic papillary architecture and bipartite (astrocytic and neuronal/neurocytic) cell population. As a newly established entity of mixed glioneuronal tumor family, PGNT attracted extensive attention recently.In our report we discuss the clinical, neuroradiological and surgical features. The final result is compared with literature data. |
