Rare pediatric central neurocytomas

Ji Hoon Phi et al. Neurosurg Clin N Am. 2015 Jan.

Abstract

Central neurocytoma is extremely rare in pediatrics. In a single institute's record, it represents about 0.2% of brain tumors in children. The treatment of central neurocytoma in children is not different from that for adult patients. Surgical resection is the mainstay of treatment. After complete resection, the long-term prognosis is excellent. Adjuvant radiation therapy or radiosurgery may be applied to residual or recurrent tumors. However, the exact indication for each modality should be refined by accumulation of clinical data for this rare disease in children.
