  • Title: Central neurocytoma: long-term follow-up of a paediatric case.
    Author: Tacconi L, Rossi M, Foy P.
    Journal: J Clin Neurosci; 2000 Nov; 7(6):548-52. PubMed ID: 11029240.
    Abstract:
    In order to gain a better understanding of the clinical and histological features of central neurocytoma and the role of radiotherapy in the treatment of these tumours, we present an unusual paediatric case and review the pertinent literature. Most patients present in the second and third decade of life, rarely in the teenage years and exceptionally in children. Our patient was treated by a combined surgical and radiation therapy treatment for a central neurocytoma at the age of 7 years, but the tumour had been diagnosed when she was 3 years old. At a 38-year follow-up, she is well with no evidence of tumour progression. This patient seems to be the youngest histologically proven case of central neurocytoma and with the longest recorded survival.
