Abstract
Dysembryonic Neuroepithelial Tumor. A dysembryonic neuroepithelial tumor (DNET) is a grade 1, slow-growing lesion that is located within the cortex of the brain. This tumor accounts for up to 2 % of all intracranial brain tumors in patients younger than 20 years old. DNETs most commonly occur in children and young adults and have no gender predominance. Uncontrollable epilepsy is a common clinical finding in patients with DNET.
