In this case report, we characterize an instance of diagnosis, treatment, characteristics, and outcomes of a patient with a liponeurocytoma, a rare WHO grade II brain tumor first described in 1978. This tumor has been described with a wide array of radiographic, microscopic, and histologic features, and there remains no consensus regarding the role of radiation therapy. Most patients have favorable outcomes after surgical resection. Here we present the case of a 46-year-old female who underwent suboccipital craniectomy for resection of a cerebellar mass, which was diagnosed as liponeurocytoma on final pathology. The patient experienced resolution of symptoms and is neurologically intact two years after resection of the tumor.
在本病例报告中，我们描述了一例脂肪神经细胞瘤患者的诊断、治疗、特征及预后情况。脂肪神经细胞瘤是一种罕见的WHO二级脑肿瘤，于1978年首次被描述。该肿瘤具有多种影像学、显微镜下和组织学特征，关于放射治疗的作用尚无共识。大多数患者在手术切除后预后良好。在此，我们报告一例46岁女性患者，她接受了枕下颅骨切除术以切除小脑肿块，最终病理诊断为脂肪神经细胞瘤。患者症状消失，肿瘤切除两年后神经功能完好。
