Papillary glioneuronal tumors are rare neoplasm, accounting only <0.02% of all intracranial tumors. They are generally low grade usually occur in the temporal lobe near the third ventricle. We report an extremely rare case of intraventricular tumor with a high proliferation index. CD 117 expression found in our case is the first study to the best of our knowledge to be described in these tumors. The clinical and diagnostic significance of this finding is subject to further studies.
