Abstract

Survey of the literature reveals 10 cases of cerebral neuroblastoma in adults. An additional case, confirmed by electron microscopy, is reported here. The patient had a voluminous supratentorial calcified intraventricular tumor with clinical signs dating back more than two years. Despite the size and cellular immaturity of the lesion, surgical removal of the tumor was apparently satisfactory on macroscopic grounds. Treatment also included postoperative radiotherapy of the brain and spinal cord. The present case is discussed in light of the scarce data from the literature.
