    Abstract:
    Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumour is an uncommon lesion of the brain characterised by a heterogeneous population of neurons, astrocytes and oligodendroglia-like cells. Most patients are young adults with a long history of drug-resistant seizures. We report a case of a 31 year-old woman with a history of severe epileptic attacks. Cerebral imaging showed a left temporal tumour measuring 4 cm in its greater dimension. After surgical intervention, histopathological examination showed a tumoural proliferation with both glial and neuronal components that was confirmed by immunohistochemistry. We also describe the spectrum of dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumours and their histological features.
