title: [Cerebral astroblastoma: report of a case and literature review].
abstract: We report a new case of low grade astroblastoma of pure type and consider the definition and the clinical, neuroimaging, intraoperative and pathological characteristics of this type of uncommon intracranial tumour. We analyse the differences found in the literature concerning the immunochemistry, genetics and electron microscopy. We point out the lack of protocols for treatment of this type of intracranial tumour, and comment the various hypothesis of its origin.
