  • Title: Melanotic differentiation in dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor.
    Author: Elizabeth J, Bhaskara RM, Radhakrishnan VV, Radhakrishnan K, Thomas SV.
    Journal: Clin Neuropathol; 2000; 19(1):38-40. PubMed ID: 10774951.
    Abstract:
    Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor (DNT) is an uncommon intracranial tumor which is usually encountered in patients with medically intractable complex partial seizures of temporal lobe origin. Melanotic differentiation in a DNT has not been reported previously. Herewith we report a case of DNT with unique melanotic differentiation in a 23-year-old female who presented with medically intractable epilepsy. She underwent craniotomy and tumor decompression with a good outcome. We present the histopathological features of DNT with melanotic differentiation and discuss its prognostic significance.
