Case Abstract An 11 year old girl presented with an 8 month history of left temporal headaches with new onset of nausea and vomiting with increased severity of headaches. An MRI scan showed a frontal lobe mass. The tumor was resected and histologic studies demonstrated a central neurocytoma. The clinical, radiologic and pathologic aspects (including immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy) of central neurocytomas are reviewed and the atypical features of this case described.
