Recently Established Entities of Central Nervous System Tumors

Abstract

Several new entities of central nervous system tumors have been established in the past decade. By reviewing our cases and previous reports, we describe 4 neuronal and mixed neuronal-glial tumors (papillary glioneuronal tumor, extraventricular neurocytoma, rosette-forming glioneuronal tumor of the fourth ventricle, and glioneuronal tumor with neuropil-like islands), angiocentric glioma and papillary tumor of the pineal region, with an attempt to explain the pathological basis of the imaging features.
