Extraventricular neurocytomas stratified by tumor location and histological subtype: clinical features, radiology, pathology, and prognosis

Sixie Ren, Panpan Li, Haibo Yao, Dafa Shi et al.

Short summary

Extraventricular neurocytomas (EVNs) in the brain parenchyma are diagnosed in younger patients (25 vs. 49 years) and present differently (headache/seizures vs. visual decline) and on MRI (cystic-solid vs. solid) compared to those in the sellar region. Despite distinct imaging and GFAP expression, neither tumor location nor histological subtype (typical vs. atypical) significantly impacted progression-free survival in this small cohort.
