Papillary Glioneuronal Tumour: A Case Report

Cureus. 2019 Mar 11;11(3):e4215. doi: 10.7759/cureus.4215.

Abstract

Only a few cases of papillary glioneuronal tumour (PGNT) with predominantly focal symptomatology are described in the literature. We report on the clinical, radiological, and histopathological features of PGNT. The intraoperative pathology revealed no tumour in the walls of the cyst, thus surgical resection of the nodule was performed leaving the cyst wall intact. There was no recurrence of tumour at the three-year follow-up, although a long-term follow-up is necessary.

Keywords: case report; papillary glioneuronal tumour.
