Journal of Neuro-Oncology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

We encountered a very rare patient with cerebellar ganglioglioma. To our knowledge, there are 17 reported patients with this disease, of whom ours (a 53-year-old male) was the oldest. The tumor was totally resected, but radiotherapy was also performed to prevent recurrence. He is completely symptom-free 9 months after operation.
