Abstract
A benign (WHO grade I), relatively circumscribed, biphasic cerebral neoplasm occurring predominantly in the temporal lobe and most commonly affecting young adults. No population-based epidemiologic data are available to date. Papillary glioneuronal tumor (PGNT) was initially described as “pseudopapillary ganglioglioneurocytoma” or “pseudopapillary neurocytoma with glial differentiation.” Established as a distinct clinicopathologic entity in 1998 by Komori et al. Regarded as a variant of ganglioglioma in the 2000 WHO classification of central nervous system tumors. Recently added as a new entity in the 2007 WHO classification.
