Abstract
We would like to thank Drs Aralasmak and Karaali for their interest in our report of extraventricular neurocytomas (EVNs) published in the March 2009 issue of the American Journal of Neuroradiology [1][1] and their excellent comments. We also read with interest their article,[2][2] in which they
Highlights
We did mention that EVN should be considered in the differential diagnosis when a large cerebral parenchymal mass with cystic necrosis, calcification and/or hemorrhagic foci, and extensive enhancement is encountered in younger patients, on the basis of our cases and other reports
After reviewing seriously the case of Aralasmak et al,[2] we agree that dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor should be in the differential diagnosis of some EVNs due to the unique imaging features and histologic similarity
We regard the imaging findings that Aralasmak et al described as uncommon ones in EVN
Summary
We did mention that EVN should be considered in the differential diagnosis when a large cerebral parenchymal mass with cystic necrosis, calcification and/or hemorrhagic foci, and extensive enhancement is encountered in younger patients, on the basis of our cases and other reports.
