Abstract

We describe two cases of central neurocytoma in the lateral ventricle. Ultrastructural examination showed occasional cilia mixed in with sparse dense core vesicles and thin tumor cell processes containing parallel microtubules. These central neurocytomas revealed evidence of ependymal differentiation. We propose that central neurocytoma originates from multiple differentiation from the germinal matrix cell layer.
