title: Cerebellar liponeurocytoma--a case report.
abstract: 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.
