abstract: Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumour (DNT) of the central nervous system is a recently recognized entity. We describe the clinical and characteristic histomorphological features in a patient with DNT. As this lesion carries a favourable prognosis, it becomes essential to make an accurate histopathological diagnosis.
