- Abstract
This article discusses the case of a 31-year-old woman who presented with symptoms of headache, dizziness, and phosphenes. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a well-circumscribed mass in the left cerebellar hemisphere. The tumor was diagnosed as a cerebellar liponeurocytoma, a rare and slow-growing tumor that occurs in the cerebellum. The article highlights the diagnostic challenges of distinguishing cerebellar liponeurocytoma from other tumors, such as medulloblastoma, and emphasizes the importance of thorough examination and analysis of histological and immunohistochemical features for accurate diagnosis. The study concludes that cerebellar liponeurocytoma has distinct genetic and epigenetic features that can aid in diagnosis, and that the identification of lipomatous foci is crucial for distinguishing this tumor from other similar tumors.
