Cerebellar liponeurocytoma--a case report.
Cerebellar liponeurocytomas have been included in the 2000 classification of tumours of the central nervous system, under the heading of glioneuronal tumours. The tumour has two populations of cells- one composed of cells with morphology of neurocytes and the other are lipidised cells which look like mature fat cells. The tumour occurs in adults and has a good prognosis. Less than fifteen cases have been reported in world literature. We report a case of this rare tumour entity in a 32 years old female patient.
