Central neurocytoma, abbreviated CNC, is a rare intraventricular brain tumour that is typically attached to the septum pellucidum.[1]
Incidence
CNC represent 0.25-0.5% of primary brain tumours.[2]
Pathology
CNCs are characterized by perivascular pseudorosettes, circular/flower-like arrangements of cells with a small blood vessel at the centre, and polygonal small cells with a clear perinuclear halo. The main histomorphologic differential diagnosis is oligodendroglioma.
Treatment
The mainstay of treatment is surgical excision.[3]
History
It was first described in 1982 by Hassoun.[4]
