Introduction And Importance: Granular cell tumor (GCT) originating from the sellar and suprasellar regions, specifically from the neurohypophysis, is a rare neoplasm. Distinguishing GCT from other pituitary tumors, including pituitary adenoma, pituicytoma, and spindle cell oncocytoma, poses significant challenges. Here, we present a rare case of GCT originating from the posterior pituitary in the supra-sellar region.

It has been newly defined tumor entity included in the latest update (revised fourth edition) of WHO 2016 Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System which portends a uniform dismal prognosis and survival even with the best of multimodality approaches.
Illustrative Case: This report documents the presentation of a 2-year-old girl with voluminous intracranial ETMR in the right parieto-occipital region.
Objective: We present an illustrative case of pediatric intracranial anaplastic ganglioglioma and systematically reviewed the current reported data of anaplastic ganglioglioma in the pediatric population.
Methods: A comprehensive literature search for our review was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, PsycINFO, Cochrane, and Embase databases. The search terms included "ganglioglioma," "anaplastic," "pediatrics," "children," and "intracranial.

Illustrative Case: We report a case of a 2-year-old female presented an unusual location of sporadic Burkitt's lymphoma arising in the orbital region. Diagnostic magnetic resonance imagining identified an oval-shaped mass on the lateral rectus of the right orbit that caused dislocation of eyeball, for which she underwent a biopsy from the periorbital swellings.
Background: Gliosarcomas are rare, malignant primary brain tumors, most commonly located in the temporal lobe, that contain both glial and mesenchymal elements. Gliosarcomas located within the cerebellum are exceedingly rare. The previously unreported finding of a cerebellar gliosarcoma concurrently with an extracranial metastasis to the lungs is discussed here.

Spinal giant cell tumors located above the sacrum are rare and treatment recommendations are still unclear. We report a rare case of this lesion in an adult and discuss the management and outcome of such uncommon tumors.
