| Abstract: | We report a case of an infratentorial ganglioglioma in a 56-year-old male, who underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) during the diagnostic workup for a suspected lung cancer. The MRI scan revealed a space-occupying lesion of the left lobulus semilunaris superior cerebelli, which was assumed being a metastasis. The asymptomatic lesion was resected to establish the diagnosis. Histologic and immunohistochemical studies showed a ganglioglioma with World Health Organization grade I characteristics. Although ganglioglioma typically exhibits a supratentorial predilection, it should be included in the differential diagnosis of lesions occurring in the cerebellum. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
