The September 2002 COM. A 24-year-old female presented with a history of 3 generalized seizures, the first of which had occurred 6 months before admission. Her neurological examination was normal, but upon admission her MRI showed a small cystic lesion in the left parieto-occipital region. The lesion was hyper-intense on T-2 weighted images and did not show contrast enhancment. At surgery, the tumor was found to be deep to the cortex and was a cyst with amber fluid surrounded by gliotic brain. Microscopically, the tumor was well-demarcated from the surrounding tissues, which showed reactive changes, including Rosenthal fibers. The tumor was composed of GFAP-positive glial cells, which were arranged in a pseudopapillary fashion around blood vessels. In between, the tumor cells were positive for neuronal markers. The diagnosis was papillary glioneuronal tumor (PGNT), a relatively recently described lesion that may be a variant of ganglioglioma. The current literature on PGNTs is reviewed.
