title: Central liponeurocytoma: case report and review of literature.
abstract: The lipomatous differentiation occurring within neurocytoma has more frequently been reported in neurocytoma of cerebellar origin as case reports and short series. This case report describes the clinical, radiological, histopathological and ultrastructural findings of supratentorial central neurocytoma with lipomatous differentiation in a 45-year-old female. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed an intraventricular lesion in the right trigone which was isointense on T1 and hyperintense on T2 weighted images. There were small cystic areas and it enhanced brilliantly and homogenously on contrast. The rare lipomatous differentiation occurring in neurocytoma in the supratentorial location lends it a distinct morphological profile and thus recommends its designation as "central liponeurocytoma".
