Despite mostly indolent course and favorable postoperative outcome long-term follow-up studies are needed to identify the most appropriate therapeutic strategies to minimize surgical morbidity and neurologic injury in patients with RGNT.

Rosette-forming glioneuronal tumors (RGNTs) with FGFR1 tyrosine kinase domain internal tandem duplication (FGFR1 ITD) is exceedingly rare, with only a few cases reported in the literature. Hereby we present a case of a tumor with RGNT morphology occurring in area of septum pellucidum of 43-year-old male. The tumor showed FGFR1 ITD, no PIK3CA, PIK3R1 or NF1 alterations and inconclusive methylation profile with match for class of "low-grade glial/glioneuronal/neuroepithelial tumors".

Background: Rosette-Forming Glioneuronal Tumors (RGNTs) are rare, typically benign central nervous system tumors primarily located in the fourth ventricle and pineal region. Despite being classified as WHO grade I with generally favorable prognoses, RGNTs present complexities in their molecular mechanisms, occasional malignant transformation, and epidemiological characteristics that require further investigation.
Method: This study systematically reviews the existing literature to analyze the epidemiological patterns, MRI characteristics, pathological features, diagnostic challenges, and molecular mechanisms associated with RGNTs, aiming to provide a comprehensive theoretical foundation for clinical practice and future research.

Tectal plate tumors are a rare subset of midbrain tumors in pediatric populations. They are slow growing and low grade, with indolent and subtle manifestation unless they cause hydrocephalus. We present a tectal tumor in an 8-year-old girl (Video 1).

Introduction: The association between primary brain tumors, such as glioneuronal tumors, with autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) remains poorly understood, with only two cases reported excluding this one. This case of an ADPKD patient diagnosed with a rosette-forming glioneuronal tumor highlights an exceptionally rare potential association warranting further investigation.
Case Presentation: A 28-year-old male with ADPKD presented with progressive ataxia, dizziness, and headache.
