Neurocytomas are benign central nervous system tumor composed of small cells with characteristics of neuronal differentiation; they are usually located in the supratentorial periventricular region, in close relation to the septum pellucidum and the foramen of Monro.
Herein we report a rare case of a neurocytoma located in the cerebellar hemisphere. To date there are only four such reported cases.
Neurocytomas should be considered in the differential diagnosis of mass lesions in the cerebellum.
神经细胞瘤是一种由具有神经元分化特征的小细胞组成的良性中枢神经系统肿瘤；它们通常位于幕上脑室周围区域，与透明隔和孟氏孔关系密切。
在此我们报告一例罕见的位于小脑半球的神经细胞瘤。迄今为止，仅有四例此类病例报道。
在小脑占位性病变的鉴别诊断中应考虑神经细胞瘤。
