Abstract
Aim: Cerebellar liponeurocytoma is a rare primary cerebellar neoplasm that mostly occurs in adults, however, it is rare in the elderly.
Materials and methods: We report, in a 79-year-old female, a recurrent vermian cerebellar mass that was previously diagnosed as primary cerebellar tumor with neuroendocrine differentiation. The recurrent lesion showed anaplastic features and lipidization.
Results: DNA methylation profiling was performed for the recurrent tumor, which showed a high score match for cerebellar liponeurocytoma.
Conclusion: This report confirms the usefulness of DNA methylation profiling for the diagnosis of challenging CNS tumors.
期刊介绍：
Clinical Neuropathology appears bi-monthly and publishes reviews and editorials, original papers, short communications and reports on recent advances in the entire field of clinical neuropathology. Papers on experimental neuropathologic subjects are accepted if they bear a close relationship to human diseases. Correspondence (letters to the editors) and current information including book announcements will also be published.
