Abstract
Ganglioneuroblastoma (GNB) is a rare tumour of neuroectodermal origin consisting of a varying proportion of neuroblasts and ganglion cells. GNB arises from sympathoadrenal tissue usually affecting young children. Very few cases of brain GNB have been reported in the literature. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first-ever reported case of GNB at an intraventricular location in young adults. Because of the rarity of the neoplasm, it might be confused with other tumours of intraventricular location both in radiology and histopathology. We report a very rare case, which was surgically operated on and sent for a frozen section followed by a routine report. The final diagnosis was made by Immunohistochemistry (IHC) study. The patient was treated with further radiotherapy.
期刊介绍：
This online-only journal publishes original case reports on all types of cancer. In particular, we welcome not only case reports of educational value in the diagnosis and treatment of cancers, but also reports on molecularly analyzed cancer cases, including gene mutations, gene fusions, gene expression, and changes in copy number, regardless of their known clinical significance. Assessing the molecular analysis of a tumor usually requires a “cancer conference” in which experts from various fields discuss it. Even if the authors and their respective “cancer conference” were unable to determine the clinical significance of molecular changes at the time of submission and publication, their data may provide evidence that will help the scientific community develop precision medicine solutions in the future. We welcome case reports with reviews of the literature on similar cases, as they are more useful and valuable to readers than are reports of rare cases. International Cancer Conference Journal is the official publication of the Japan Society of Clinical Oncology (JSCO).
