Congenital cerebellar neuroepithelial tumor with multiple divergent differentiations
Abstract
A case of congenital cerebellar tumor is reported. The tumor is composed of a few incomplete tubular structures analogous to the neural tube, and of neuroblastic, mature ganglionic, astrocytic, ependymal and undetermined neuroepithelial cells. A tentative diagnosis of congenital cerebellar neuroepithelial tumor with multiple divergent differentiations is made: the histogenesis is discussed. From a histogenetic point of view this tumor is given the provisional name of matrix cell tumor.
