Supratentorial liponeurocytoma is a rare tumor, predominantly appearing in young males. It most commonly affects the lateral ventricles, with involvement of the third ventricle being exceptional. It is defined as a low-grade neuroglial tumor, with areas of associated lipomatosis. The most common clinical manifestation is that resulting from the presence of secondary intracranial hypertension and hydrocephalus. We present the first case reported in Spain of this tumor type and one of the few appearing in the literature so far. We report the case of a 33-year-old male patient, suffering from crural sensitive symptoms and recent onset headache. The radiographic study revealed the presence of a large supratentorial tumor; intraventricular, multicystic, heterogeneous and with areas of associated lipomatosis. The patient underwent surgery and complete tumor resection was achieved. The definitive diagnosis was of supratentorial liponeurocytoma. The presence of a supratentorial intraventricular tumor with areas of fatty degeneration should lead us to consider this type of tumor in the differential diagnosis. Complete tumor resection is considered to be the treatment of choice. |
