| Popis: | Desmoplastic gangliogliomas are mixed cerebral tumors traditionally reported in infants. However, a few non-infantile cases have been documented. A case of a desmoplastic ganglioglioma in a 16-year male is presented. The patient reported severe headaches. Radiological examination revealed a large mass occupying the right frontal lobe. The lesion was totally excised. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of a desmoplastic ganglioglioma. The postoperative course was excellent. At the 10(1/2) year follow-up there was no evidence of tumor recurrence. Although desmoplastic gangliogliomas have aggressive features, complete surgical removal is the treatment of choice obviating the need for adjuvant therapy. |
