Cerebellar liponeurocytoma.

Abstract

Cerebellar liponeurocytoma is a rare neoplasm with distinctive morphologic features. It typically involves the cerebellar hemispheres of middle-aged to older adults. The tumor is composed of a uniform population of neurocytic cells possessing round to oval nuclei and pale to clear cytoplasm. A variable degree of lipidization of the tumor cells is present, lending a resemblance to mature adipose tissue. Immunohistochemistry serves to confirm the neurocytic differentiation of the tumor cells. In the 2007 revision of the World Health Organization classification of central nervous system tumors, cerebellar liponeurocytoma was reclassified as a grade II neoplasm to reflect a higher recurrence rate than was previously appreciated.
