Gangliogliomas and gangliocytomas belong to a family of rare, slow-growing, neuronal tumors. Courville fi rst introduced the term “ganglioglioma” in 1930 to describe the mixed neuronal and glial elements typically seen in this tumor (Courville 1930). Although there is a pathologic difference between ganglioglioma and gangliocytoma, the natural history and biology of these two subtypes appear to be the same.
