Polymorphous low-grade neuroepithelial tumor of the young: Rare tumor and review of the literature.

Polymorphous low-grade neuroepithelial tumor of the young (PLNTY) is a recently described low-grade neuroepithelial tumor with an infiltrative growth pattern and oligodendrocyte-like cells that are CD34 immunopositive. Correlating histology and results from molecular testing is critical to correctly diagnosing PLNTY, as its histologic appearance is similar to oligodendrogliomas and shares genetic abnormalities common to other low-grade epilepsy associated tumors (LEATs). In this case report, we describe a 31-year-old female with intractable epilepsy found to have a temporal mass and diagnosed with PLNTY after histopathologic and molecular testing.
