Because of the very low prevalence, only a few cases have been reported. According to a recent study, SEAE is associated with a poor prognosis and there is no definite consensus on optimal treatment. We report a case of an adult SEAE patient who had no recurrence until seven years after a gross total resection (GTR) followed by conventional radiotherapy. A 42-year-old male had a persistent mild headache, left facial palsy, dysarthria, and left hemiparesis. Preoperative neuroimaging revealed an anaplastic astrocytoma or supratentorial ependymoma in the right frontal lobe. A GTR was performed, followed by adjuvant radiotherapy. Histologic and immunohistochemical results revealed anaplastic ependymoma. After seven years of initial therapy, a regular follow-up MRI showed a 3-cm-sized partially cystic mass in the same area as the initial tumor. The patient underwent a craniotomy, and a GTR was performed. Histopathologic examination revealed recurrence of the SEAE. External radiotherapy was performed. The patient has been stable without any disease progression or complications for 12 months since the surgery for recurrent SEAE.Copyright © 2019 The Korean Brain Tumor Society, The Korean Society for Neuro-Oncology, and The Korean Society for Pediatric Neuro-Oncology.SeoSung WonSWDepartment of Neurosurgery, Daegu Fatima Hospital, Daegu, Korea.KangHo JunHJDepartment of Neurosurgery, Daegu Fatima Hospital, Daegu, Korea. nshojun@naver.com.LeeMin SeokMSDepartment of Neurosurgery, Daegu Fatima Hospital, Daegu, Korea.SuhSang JunSJDepartment of Neurosurgery, Daegu Fatima Hospital, Daegu, Korea.LeeYoon SooYSDepartment of Neurosurgery, Daegu Fatima Hospital, Daegu, Korea.LeeJeong HoJHDepartment of Neurosurgery, Daegu Fatima Hospital, Daegu, Korea.KangDong GeeDGDepartment of Neurosurgery, Daegu Fatima Hospital, Daegu, Korea.engCase Reports
