[Papillary glioneuronal tumor with highly degenerative pseudopapillary structure accompanied by specific abortive glial cells: a case report].

Recently, unusual examples of tumors of the mixed glioneuronal type have been reported, including the papillary glioneuronal tumor (PGNT). A 23-year-old woman with a 2-3 months history of headache and insomnia presented with a tumor. Neuroimaging showed a right temporal lobe cystic tumor with a mural nodule enhanced by contrast medium.

A case of giant expanding cephalhematoma: does the administration of blood coagulation factor XIII reverse symptoms?

Background: The mechanism of continuous massive hemorrhage into the subperiosteal space in children without coagulation defects is unknown. We report a case of giant expanding cephalhematoma reversed by the administration of blood coagulation factor XIII concentrate.

Method: The patient was an 8-year-old boy with a history of minor head trauma who developed a giant expanding cephalhematoma with intraorbital extension.

Distinctive pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma-like tumor with exclusive abortive or aberrant neuronal differentiation and repeated recurrence--case report.

A 9-year-old girl with a 1-month history of generalized seizure presented with a distinctive tumor resembling pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma. Neuroimagings showed a right frontotemporal lobe tumor. Histological examination of the resected tumor indicated similarity to pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma without staining for glial fibrillary acidic protein.
