A rosette-forming glioneuronal tumour (RGNT) is a rare tumour with new information emerging. We review the literature and describe the second patient with a RGNT arising from the pineal gland. This is also the fifth report of a RGNT arising from outside the fourth ventricle. The prognosis of RGNT remains guarded, as long-term follow-up is not yet available for most patients reported. With only one of 35 patients having a documented recurrence at 10 years, the prognosis seems favourable with appropriate, but not necessarily total, surgical resection.
成菊形细胞神经胶质肿瘤(RGNT)是一种罕见肿瘤,目前有新的信息不断涌现。我们复习了相关文献,并描述了第二例发生于松果体的 RGNT 患者。这也是第五例发生于第四脑室以外的 RGNT 报告。由于大多数报道的患者缺乏长期随访,因此 RGNT 的预后仍不容乐观。在 35 例患者中,仅有 1 例在 10 年后有记录的复发,因此,适当的手术切除(但不一定是完全切除)似乎可以带来良好的预后。
