Abstract
ABSTRACT: Diffuse leptomeningeal glioneuronal tumor is a rare disease of the central nervous system, first classified in 2016. Due to the insufficient number of studies, there are different views on the clinical, pathological and radiological characteristics of this disease. This article presents a clinical case. By keywords, publications were searched in the databases eLibrary, PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, CrossRef, ResearchGate. The found publications were analyzed for information about the treatment, age, localization of the tumor, the results of immunohistochemical and molecular genetic studies, and the follow-up period. In this example, the histological picture and immunophenotype of the tumor did not differ from those previously described in the literature. Given that this tumor is predominantly aggressive, a quick and accurate diagnosis is crucial for the timely initiation of treatment.
Supporting agencies: The study was performed without external funding.
