| Abstract: | Cerebellar liponeurocytoma is an extremely rare cerebellar neoplasm of adults, which is characterized by astrocytic and lipomatous differentiation, with a low proliferative potential. Until now, there are only 31 reports of cerebellar liponeurocytoma. Neurosurgeons are not familiarized with this entity. It is not a part of the tumor repertoire that is dealt with in daily practice. Despite its rarity, it is mandatory to distinguish it from medulloblastomas. Cerebellar liponeurocytoma usually has a more favorable prognosis and does not require chemotherapy or radiotherapy. In this study, we describe a 62-year-old woman harboring cerebellar liponeurocytoma, and briefly review the existing literature. |
