Central neurocytoma are rare primary brain tumors of the young and middle-aged adult, typically located in the lateral ventricles. Diagnosis has historically been difficult due to histomorphologic similarities to oligodendroglioma and ependymal tumors and remains a challenge even today. We present two cases of intraventricular central neurocytoma in which careful consideration of the clinical and radiological findings led to reevaluation of the preliminary histological interpretation, highlighting the importance of a meticulous differential diagnosis.
中枢神经细胞瘤是一种罕见的青年和中年人群原发性脑肿瘤，通常位于侧脑室。由于其组织形态学与少突胶质细胞瘤和室管膜肿瘤相似，历史上诊断较为困难，即使在今天，这仍然是一个挑战。我们报告了两例脑室中央神经细胞瘤，仔细考虑了临床和影像学发现，导致对初步组织学解释的重新评估，突出了细致鉴别诊断的重要性。
